The types of congenital diseases in children are numerous and complex. Some children have far more than just one type of congenital disease but several types mixed together. This point was briefly mentioned before. After all, if there is a problem with the chromosomes, it is easy to cause abnormalities in embryonic development, which will successively affect the development of multiple organs in the body and eventually manifest various malformations.
It is right to promote eugenics and postnatal care, and it is important to conduct various prenatal examinations and monitoring.
This involves an issue that is often debated in medical ethics classes and society as a whole. If an abnormality is discovered during the fetal period, will the child be allowed to be born? There are many reports like this in the media, saying that parents are great, and they did not give up when they learned that the fetus was malformed. They raised the deformed child after birth without abandoning the little life.
I remember Brother Luo asked Hu Hao, if you had known that this child would be born like this, would you have continued to want this child? You don¡¯t want it when you are healthy, how can you want it when you are unhealthy? He would probably use a legitimate excuse to ask his sister to abort the fetus.
Hu Hao¡¯s moral character is not very good. He is a pragmatist in his behavior. It's just that on this matter, his economic and pragmatic views don't seem to be wrong. Hu Hao answered Brother Luo this way: If she can be cured, she will definitely be allowed to give birth. Those that cannot be cured will definitely be aborted. Don't say anything about me. If you give birth to a deformed child that cannot be cured, you will have to suffer a lot when the time comes. No matter how great you are, regardless of whether you have the money or not, are you willing to let a deformed child come into this world and suffer? This suffering cannot be solved by money.
If the family wants to have Mother's love, most people don't have the money to raise and take care of a deformed child that cannot be cured for a lifetime. If you rely on society. It would be fine if the society had money, but if the country had no money, it would not be able to take care of healthy children, let alone deformed children.
A small number of people are really reluctant to bear their children and are willing to endure such suffering with their children. This is called everyone's own ambition. The behavior of some children's families is completely opposite. As long as the fetus has a slight deformity found during pregnancy, it is absolutely unacceptable and must be aborted. Even if the doctor said that this little life might be cured by surgery after birth.
Most families choose to believe the doctor¡¯s words and make scientific decisions. The doctor's responsibility suddenly became very important. As Hu Hao said, how to identify whether this child's disease can be cured has become a top priority.
From a medical point of view, doctors are most afraid of what kind of deformity the child will have. For example, Hu Hao's child suffers from esophageal atresia. We have talked about its classification. Some classifications are good and some are poor. Even if the type is poor, it cannot be said that they cannot survive, but their digestive tract function will be worse than that of ordinary people throughout their lives. Considering that some parts of the gastrointestinal tract of healthy people are always bad, this benefit gain and loss is relatively bearable for family members and individuals. Therefore, the disease of esophageal atresia is not necessarily talked about in the rumors that ordinary people hear.
What do people fear most, children with Down syndrome? Down syndrome is actually called trisomy 21, which means that the normal two chromosomes on chromosome 21 become three. Another similar type of Edwards syndrome in children, trisomy 18, is an abnormality of chromosome 18, in which the normal two chromosomes become three.
