Sorry I had to take a little breather and then come back to this thread. Im also looking for *not a good researcher here* the history of deaf being considered as incompatible with life. Deafskeptic, I realize there could have been other issues that would have been considered. But, here is what...

One doctor saying to another doctor, "About the termination of a pregnancy, I want your opinion. The father was syphilitic (venereal disease). The mother tuberculous (small lumps on skin). Of the four children born, the first was blind, the second died, the third was deaf and dumb, the...

Ok fine whatever, your not gonna change my opinion and Im so clearly not going to change yours. Im sorry to hear about your baby. However, the difference is your baby was given a chance, and was found that even with the chances it wouldnt have helped. As a mother I could have accepted that...

Im sure there have been more than 2 that have managed to survive this early. 22 weeks is the cut off, she had the baby what at 21 weeks and 6 days or something like that? Basically this baby was born 1 day before the 22 week cut off. 1 day???

That is my whole point here, and that is exactly what has me so outraged at this. IF the doctors had gone back to check as the mother had requested, would there have been a different outcome or not? The fact that they didnt check as requesting is in essence what is pissing me off about this...

you dont know that it would have or not. And that's just it, we will never know now will we?

OFC i do know what it means. I wouldnt be a former nurse or a medical billing and coding student currently if I didnt!. It means that for example, a baby born with no brain is not going to be able to survive no matter what measures were given to it. Satisfied? Ok, now to move past my...

At one time a deaf baby wouldnt have been considered compatible with life. Have you thought of that? There was a time, that if a baby was born deaf, then the doctors would give no measures to help it live, simply because it was deaf. How do you feel about that?

Jillio while everything you say is true, how can we possibly ignore the fact that the doctors absolutely refused to even see the baby at the mother's request? Who knows, if they had, they may have realized that this baby should be given a chance. Following some guideline just because it is...

Why would anyone go flip off a cop like in the video above unprovoked is stupid and deserved what he got. The cop was innocently walking along and some maniac gets in his face like that, what would you expect the cop to do?

And sometimes even medical facts could be wrong Jillio, you and I should both know that all too well. How many people have been misdiagnosed or mistreated for the wrong diseases? Doctors are humans too and do make mistakes. ' I believe a huge mistake was made here! The article states itself...

Ok here is my two cents on this arguement, whether if wanted or not. As stated earlier the baby could have been made comfortable regardless of whether if it lived or died, no matter what was wrong with this baby it still deserved a right to life. Many babies born at full gestation are born with...

The problem with that statement above is, not everyone on the registry has raped a child. Not everyone on the registry offended when they were older. Everyone deserves a second chance. And someday it may be you wanting that second chance and no one is willing to give you one. It is easy to be...

Let me tell you of my own experience. I have too found my father after 33 years of hearing nothing from him *Im 38 years old*. I sent a letter to him asking many questions. When I got no response, I called to talk to him, my half-brother answered the phone. It seems my father's other family knew...

Sally Im not saying parents arent important. The ONLY issue I have with the registry is how SOME people use it.

I like the idea of scanning drivers licenses as a way of knowing who a sex offender is. That way could be better than the registry currently is. This way important people could know about the history of that person WITHOUT the vigilantism behind the knowing. Most schools would not *spread the...

Sallylou, I agree they should be prosecuted but the majority of the time, the cops make very little effort to find out who did it. Sadly, alot of cops *not all* but alot of them have the same attitudes. I agree that we should watch out for them. But, watching out for them has also turned into...

Thanks Reba and I will most certainly do that tomorrow while we are in court. Also will definitely start looking into where I would wanna move to. Unfortunately, right now I am in college and would stick around Ohio till I finish but once its time to start looking for a job, I wont be looking in...

Amen!!!!

Sorry I just cant find the article. Will go to the library once break starts and research it there on microfiche and may be able to find it then and share that story.
