Yeah but sometimes abortion can be a kindness. Im not sure what disability your sibling has im sure he has a good quality of life, but down's syndrome can come with a lot of other health issues which severly lower quality of life for the individual. I've read about people knowing that their child wont live past 3 years of age, but yet they still have the child. While that is their right, it is ****ing cruel for a child to spend whatever short time they have in hospitals not knowing what is happening to them just for the sake of the parents minds thinking they are doing a kind thing. Sometimes its kinder to stop the suffering all together.
I see your point about adoption>surrogacy, but I can understanding wanting your 'own' child, that of your own genetics.
Also, Thailand government launched a massive investigation into this surrogacy agency and own amendment of its laws on surrogacy to ensure things like this dont happen agian.
Also, I agree forced abortion is messed, but there has to be some sort of discussion about that in case of something dramatic happening. Becuase essentially its a decision thats going to impact the parents for the rest of their lives, not the surrogate.
