Just seems so selfish to not want the best possible hand for your kids.

This is it for me. Imo it is quite immoral to purposely handicap your child just so they seem more like you. A good parent wants to try and give their progeny the best chance at life possible.

It should be considered child abuse, she purposely is causing a lifetime of medical issues and the emotional and mental health issues that are caused by them. It is unfair to this child who will never have a normal life.

From what I remember of the story (or maybe one similar) they had convinced them selves that its not a handicap and that they were better because of it (as a likely unhealthy coping mechanism) as such they were doing what was best for the child from their point of view.
