I read an article yesterday in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat and it is really bothering me. The parents of a severly disabled child had her growth stunted medicaly so she would be easier to take care of at home. Stunted, she will stay the same size as a small 9 year old for her life so her parents can fit her on a pillow and deal with her easier.
I understand that some parent/s can not lift a larger 5 foot 6 inch disabled child/young adult out of bed, so keeping them smaller makes it easier, but is it moraly right? I believe it is not. What say you?
~~>Brainy. I think institutions are horrid and never even suggested that option. I truely believe people get better care at home. However, altering a childs body because it fits in better with the parents lifestyle is … too wrong, for lack of a better word. I also do not doubt her parents love her dearly and are trying to do the right thing.
