[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 484153, member: 2322"] If I had a child with some major physical handicap, would I wish that child had that handicap because it made him or her and the rest of the family "better" people? No, I would probably be doing all I could to see that medical research eliminated that handicap. My kids have real handicaps that I wish they didn't have and that make their lives (and mine) very difficult. I wish they didn't have those handicaps. They are not "better" people because of those handicaps. They are the children they are, didn't ask to be born with those handicaps, so yes, we do our best to love them, handicaps and all. Would I wish those handicaps on some other child? No. [/QUOTE]
