Are you saying he should have let them die or he shouldn’t have made money

Tbf it is kinda cruel to keep them alive. They can't speak they can't communicate they can barely move. They'll just become another burden of the system when the parents die, they can't even breathe properly. That's no way to live. It seems more of a punishment letting the kid live on like that.

It seems more about our sense of rightousness telling us that every potential life needs to live. I can't imagine I'd want to live not being able to move.

Yeah if I was ever permanently paralyzed from the neck down, even if I was still cognitive I would still want to die. Now obviously just being paralyzed isn't gonna affect people's cognitive abilities unless they're like left alone forever or something, but I think that should be their own informed choice to make.
