Just my opinion, the parents are selfish for even trying for another child, after being told the high chance of another child born with the same disease that killed their second child. His short life was such a sad existence for him. Little man is now in Heaven running free, and a lifetime away from the bubble that contained and restrained him on this side. 💙

[@deniseroe5891]

I remember him but had no idea he was in Texas. I try to understand the parents having another, but in a way it is selfish. They could have adopted if they really wanted another child. A whole life spent with out real human touch, no pets no fun seems like a horrible thing to possibly subject a child to. I had one healthy boy and was never able to have more and I thank God daily for him. Now he has given me a grand daughter. I think if it were me in the bubble prison, and I got to an age of understanding, I would have said I would take the chance. Let me go and live my life for ever how long and I can die happy.
