Neither could I Spuggie, but I'd hate to be in that position. It may look like all you can see ahead is suffering but how do you know? I mean there could be medical breakthroughs or the baby could even grow up to be someone who discovers a medical breakthrough and a cure for something. How can anyone know what will happen 20 years down the line? I would live up to my purpose to save life and preserve life. But that brings us to the other end of the spectrum and how long do you keep someone artificially alive if they are to all intents and purposes dead? A real dilemma. I think I would be inclined there to want to allow the person to die with dignity
