Baby with Down Syndrome

In the news, also in a friend's posting in Facebook, an Australian couple refused to take a baby from their Thai surrogate, after it was revealed that he had Down Syndrome. They took the healthy twin.

This story made me feel very sad. What shame and irresponsibility, to take one healthy twin while abandon the other twin with Down Syndrome! The right thing to do was to accept both babies. Even giving them both to the poor Thai woman in her care, and not to separate the twins, would be a lesser evil. 

The Australian Government should pay the poor Thai surrogate mother some money, and take the baby with Down Syndrome back home to Australia. Then order the shameful couple to give up both babies to Government or foster care! 

Baby, Doc and God

There are always people who are against the progress of science, typically very religious people. Fortunately, most are not extremists and have not lost all their senses, so when they are sick,they still choose to see a doctor, instead of praying to god for cure.

Infertile people who want a child should adopt one, or see a doctor and fertility expert, to create a baby through science, not praying or expecting a miracle to happen.
