oh god, not the first thing i want to see after a hangover. God bless those parents. I wouldn't be able to handle it. This sounds really mean but i really couldn't keep that child and take care of it. Does anybody else feel this way or am i the meanest bastard in the world?

I just hope that people will treat her like a human when she goes to school. I feel sorry for her because she doesn't deserve what people have called her.
That girl that called her disgusting should be shot in the face.

Good luck with that. I got made fun of for havuing crappy sneakers. Kids are cruel and i doubt that child would even bother going to a public school. I'm guessing that home schooled would be the way to go in that instance.
So i guess i'm the only one who would have totally gave up on that kid. I'm happy we have compassionate people that would do their best in that situation. I personally couldn't handle it

i would love my kid no matter what and do whatever i can so s/he would be the happiest kid in the world regardless of how they would look or what diseases they would or wouldn't be born with.
it's something hard to live with, when i first saw this article i thought the same as you, but when it's your own flesh and blood.. you'll love the kid no matter what. i could never just giveaway

Don't think me cruel for this but... sometimes I have to question bringing someone into the world who is going to do nothing but suffer.
We're talking about a lifetime of pain here. Be compassionate and loving all you want but you're not the one looking like that, soon to face a life of pain like that.
I could never help raise a kid like that just knowing what a 100%-guarenteed shitty life they'll have.
I guess I just feel that the compassion should extend beyond bringing the kid into the world and the next two or three cute years and should take into consideration the next 60 or 70 years of her life, espically after the parents grow old and can't take care of theirselves, much less the now grown up kid...

yeah, all you say is true.. but still, what could you do? kill the kid right after she was born? i could never do that to my own kid, even if i know it would be better for them...

Abortion, perhaps.
Exercising the right to live can be as loving as the right to die. I believe in this before life, and at the end of life - i.e. if I was ever only being kept alive by machines, I'd much rather be let go.

that's how i feel. i guess i wouldn't truly know until i had the kid but i really don't think my mind would change. I just don't feel like all these kids are "miracles" to steal a line from Bill Hicks. I'd try to have another that wouldn't have to deal with not having a face. I would expect my child to start off with a chance to have a better life than mine. I would want to teach them about all the stupid things i did and steer them the right way. With a child like that one it is hopeless. You're basically giving everything you have and all your time to take care of her. I just wouldn't have the patience or the money to do it. Plus the pain that kid must be going through would be too much for me to handle.

These people didn't know the kid didn't have a face until she was born. But I agree with you.

Question....what if this happened to me and my future wife and we wanted the kid to be terminated....or at least give it to a family that might want him/her. Would we have legal problems or something?
