I realize that I am a little late to this party, but just wanted to suggest a verse to think about. Psalms 139:13-14
I was a special education teacher. I saw lots of kids with all sorts of disabilities. Some of them may have been better off if they had not survived, while others (who doctors thought would be nothing but a burden to their families) have grown up and had good lives. So, who should make the decisions about these kids? Tay-Sachs, there is no up side to a child who will suffer and die. But kids wih Down syndrome, who are HIV positive, who have cerebral palsy, who is to choose "who shall live and who shall die?"
