To know for sure if that fetus will end up being moderately to severely deficient while in vetro is highly unlikely. Even the best medical tests have a margin of error or cannot be totally foolproof. It's rare but some people who believe they are having a girl may end up with a boy. So are you going to take that chance that you are aborting a reasonably healthy fetus or only mildly retarded one?
My calling in life is to work with children and I would enjoy working with a moderately to severely retarded child. I have worked with some already. It would be difficult being primary caregiver and for the CHILD'S benefit it would behoove me to find a secondary caregiver who was no in my family. It would expose the child to other people (social exposure) and it would allow me personal time so that I was at my best to care for them at other times.
I have a healthy child and it's GOOD for me and my child to put them in someone elses care periodically. She is then able to grow in other directions than what I would tend to bring out. I am able to renew, grow, and refresh. It's not healthy to be with one person, whether you are caring for them or not, 100% of the time.
