How correct is it, morally and ethically…to have a child for the sake of your first child. the new kid can be your own, or adopted.
What i mean is that say you have a child, who has like lukemia…and the only cure is a transplant. the only way to achieve that transplant is to have someone genetically similar, and so you have another child, not randomly, but through in vitro, and try to get the second born as close to the first one as possible.
Or, say that you have a child, who is disabled for some reason. mentally, physically or watever. so you decide to adopt a new baby, in hopes that this new kid’ll take care of your first born.
And what is the guarantee the you’re gonna love this child the same as the first one? What is the guarantee that this new child is not just a thing to keep your first one alive? what is the guarantee that when the child grows up…he or she will be glad to do what he was meant to do?
well yea, i know. people do such things. that's why i started this thread. but apparently there are some moral and ethical ramification for such a thing.
like the lukemia thing...i actually read the story some years go in RD. way back then. and then it was all like...ooo how cool. now that i think about it, i think it's just a tad bit disturbing.
as for the whole RN taking care of the child...the couple that i am thinking of, they've been doing that for some time. umm...lets see...almost 9 years to be exact. but now apparently they are going to go to the path of adoption of a 10 month old girl. Whooppeee and all for adoption, don't get me wrong...but from what i understood...it's really for their son. (he's blind and mentally disabled).
Sara no, i haven't. i think i've heard about it though.
I think its disgraceful...you shouldnt sacrifice another child...and the cincept of adopting one and doing that to them is barbaric...
Accept the childs fate...dont start ruining other lives...

I think this is borderline child abuse! no! its is child abuse, i think u might need to report them! and there is no apparently!!! there are absolute moral ramifications!!! its absolutely immoral and unethical!!!
They should fear god! and i they dont they ought to fear karma!!! only b/c..what goes around comes around.... the child could very well suffer a worse fate, with the adopted child then in a foster home!
There are many reasons and reasonings behind having a child. Perhaps the way to think of it is "completing your family". If for any reason, your family is incomplete, you may decide to have another child and that is the personal choice of the parents and the business of no one else. When a couple has a child because the first one is very ill, the bond between the 2 kids will be very strong. It could very well turn out to be the best blessing anyone could wish for. Same goes for having another because one is handicapped. That too, could be the best blessing the family could have. The thought of having another child "just because" is a pretty insignificant reason compared to these I think. Who are WE to say, or to condemn parents facing such trials? If it is meant to be then it will be.
