The language used is antiquated and in many instances offensive. The child's life is devalued as is the life of all those with a cognitive or physical disability. The Times should be ashamed for publishing such a disparaging article. This article is nothing short of grossly irresponsible. The language used is antiquated and in many instances offensive.

Not the obvious nature of it, but the mean spirit it hides. I'm much less concerned about having a child who may need to frequent hospitals as I am one who would carry and spread such hostility and intolerance. All things being equal, the disparaging of an entire class of people based on a perception of odds is petty. The issue of guarantees floors me.
