when the twins were born they took the healthy baby girl but abandoned the baby boy as he had downs syndrome and other health problems.fking bstards

What a fking predicament..

It said on the news I heard that she had been paid to carry twins and when one was downs they left him ....good news is the good Aussie people have started a fund for the baby boy to help his start in life ....

the mother was left to bring him up along with her 2 other children.The good news is that an online campaign to help them has already raised over a hundred thousand dollars.

You cant selectively abort, can you? Surely they just stop the unwanted ones heart and leave it there...

I would have thought that more likely, with twins @piggle ....

One ukip bloke wants women who are carrying downs syndrome children to be forced into aborting their unborn kids.

she's a buddhist bambi,doesn't believe in abortion

He's far too gorgeous

I'm a bit surprised she agreed to the surrogacy.

she's very poor peta,the money was going to pay for the education of her other 2 children

It's a risky affair, surrogation. As with any shared/assisted conceptions (and of course, all conceptions!).

But there are still blatantly obvious moral boarders that any human being can see, and the Aussie couple crossed them - they should be named and shamed.

I suppose they can hide behind the innocence of the healthy baby, but she'll be none the wiser, the dust will have settled before it affects her.

personally I'd take the girl off them and return her to the thai family.sadly not sure that would be legal

Isn't there like some legal case that can ensue from this? I'm sure there's something that can be done.

according to sky news no laws have been broken, they paid the woman to carry a child for them when they found out she was having twins they allegedly promised to pay her some more money, which she hasn't received as when the amniocentesis was carried out and downs syndrome was found they told her to abort the foetus which the surrogate refused due to religious beliefs.

I'm not sure why you pointed that out ... I wasn't advocating she should have ...I think its awful enough they left him when he was born .....I wonder how his sister may feel if she enquires later in life ....

in effect it's a catch 22 situation.

Ah ....that explains it better ,now I see where digits is coming from ...I suspect laws may change now ,well eventually ...

It's not a catch 22 braxton,any decent/normal parents would have taken the boy irrespective of his disabilities

I assume laws would have been considered to be have been broken had the surrogate not had to lie to embassy officials about the circumstances of the birth in order for the Australian ''parents'' to take the girl out of the country. Which she did under threat of not being paid.
I've shared my views on this with a few friends already, don't feel the need to rehash my opinion for the forum morons. I have nothing but compassion for the surrogate and the boy is all I'll bother saying.
