Remember what I said about perspective?

I was looking for blogs to invest in via BlogShares and found this:

The Voice of Insanity: Our baby dies today...

Anecephaly is a neural tube disorder where the child's brain does not develop properly, and the baby, even if by some miracle it is born, will die relatively soon with only pallitive care possible. It's a horrible diagnosis, one that pulls everything right out from under you in that terrible moment. Some people choose to terminate the pregnancy. Others choose to continue, essentially planning for both a birth and a death at once. Children with anencephaly are at the centre of a debate over whether a foetus without much more than a brain stem is truly human, and whether it should receive rights as a person, particularly in terms of organ transplantation.

But no matter how brief the pregnancy or life, a child with anencephaly often touches many lives, as those around it try to give it support and love. The bereavement must be a terrible thing. There must be questions about what happened to cause it, and fears going into other pregnancies.

My thoughts and prayers are with those who face such difficult decisions and grieve for a child who will never be.
