[tri-med] Re: Bonnie- a twin family contact for support

I know of a family who did terminate one twin--the other was born  
full term. I'm not sure what the one twin had, but it was similar to  
a trisomy situation.

That said, I can't imagine the excruciating, psychological pain of  
deliberately ending the life of my child--even if I knew he or she  
might not make it to term, or live long, or have a developmentally  
delayed life. I can't imagine not having Keren....

Hang in there and I hope you're able to take time to step back and  
think.  That's the most overwhelming part of a situation such as  
this....
