An article on a set of conjoined twins

Could Conjoined Twins Share a Mind?
There are pictures here
And a little blog post on how raising children with special needs can be so damaging to their typical sibllings.
The comments to the article are *mostly* okay, but there are several that are just as bad as you expect. My replies to these, in order are:
1. Four year old children are not inspirational simply because they exist
2. You are in no place to judge the quality of their life
3. Human lives are not valued according to how costly they are
4. It's not morally wrong to have an abortion, but it's ALSO not morally wrong to NOT have an abortion, have you ever heard of "choice"? Either of you?
4a. Yes, even if you're poor!
5. Yes, given the dentist's concerns, the juice in the sippy at bedtime is a bit distressing. Not actually abusive, but probably not the wisest decision. I'm glad to know that there's always a chance to rag on people who give their kids juice. Keeps my world steady!
Comments aren't closed, so you can still get in there and make a general comment to the point that disability and difference don't make your life not worth living!
