Gonna put this in Deep Thoughts in the vain hope that it may actually get a real conversation going, because i'm curious how most Kiwi's would answer these questions. So here goes...

2 scenarios. What would you do in either of these situations? What factors might make you change your decision? Would your answers be different if it was happening to someone you knew instead, like a friend or family member?

Scenario 1.
You are having your first child. After a few months you go to the doctor and get the fetus tested. After the tests, the doctor tells you that the child will almost certainly develop with low-functioning autism (AKA: the kind where the child may become violent, self harm, be non-verbal, or need constant care for the rest of their life). However, there is an abortion clinic nearby willing to do late term abortions. Do you abort the child and hope that your next child might turn out better, or deliver it, knowing that you will likely have to take care of your adult child until you go to a nursing home, and that it will never have a normal life?

Scenario 2.
Your first child was born several months ago, but it starts acting strange. You take them to the doctor for a scan, and the doctor tells you the child has a rare brain condition that has a 60% chance to kill them before the year is over. It can be cured, but the cure has a very high chance of causing the child to develop low-functioning autism.
Do you take the risk? Or maybe it's best to let nature take its course with this one?

This is kind of hard to say. I personally plan on adopting kids around age 1/2, but hypothetically. . .

Depends on how late. Three or four months I would abort, but if it's like 8 or 9 I'm not sure; I can't help but bring in my feels. Obviously it'd be hard to let this baby go at that point. In this case I'd talk to my partner and doctor about their opinions. If my husband was leaning towards abort, I don't want to bring in a needy child that he would, consciously or subconsciously, view as too much of a hassle he'd rather have been aborted. Obviously, if my doctor suggested I terminate the pregnancy I'd do it. If there is something that severely wrong with the child, there will be other complications that may put my life in danger as well.

Your first child was born several months ago, but it starts acting strange. You take them to the doctor for a scan, and the doctor tells you the child has a rare brain condition that has a 80% chance to kill them before the year is over. It can be cured, but the cure has a 90% chance of causing the child to develop low-functioning autism.

They're already alive, it would be hard to just watch them die. I think I'd take the chance and make their life as good as it can be in the state they end up being in. they'd likely be sickly on top of low functioning if the medicine and disease caused brain damage. They might not live that long regardless.

There's also Scenario 3 where you suck my dick.
 
1. Abort

2. Let nature take its course.

Or the best option above everything else

3. Don't ever have kids.
 
Scenario 7: Have many children, and when they reach the age of 18 you have them fight in the arena to the death. The strongest child survives and carries on your family name, allowing your House to live on forever. This child will be allowed to enter the gates of Valhalla.

But what if said child that wins has autism? Wouldn't your line suffer from it?
 
Scenario 1: Abort
Scenario 2: Have the child cloned with the defections removed, let the illness kill the original.

Lets be real. No one likes autistic children. I mean, they get better if they're not super autistic and they're raised by decent parents. But they usually end up as detriments to society.
Death.

True, if we look at purely as a logical dilemma, however i can't even imagine what the parents of an autistic child must go through if they'll commit the deed, so i understand why most just let them live.
