This is a question Kids

Either you love 'em or you hate 'em. Or in the case of Fred West - both. Tell us your ankle-biter stories.

As far as IVF is concerned
then surely it makes logical sense to chose those embryos which are most viable - 'perfect' for want of a better word.

The choice of parents once a child has been conceived but not yet born but discovered to have some sort of handicap/disability...That's a tough one.

For my part, because of personal family experience, I chose not to have an amniocentesis test precisely because if I'd been told my child (or children, as it turned out) was going to be born severely disabled I'm not sure I could have aborted them.

Call it putting your head in the sand if you like.

I'm very much of the opinion that the variety of human ability and disability makes for a more caring society. We may not think our society is a caring one a good deal of the time but in many ways we are.

Rid society of all variety in abilities and we lose something of our humanity.
