Stephen Hawking was misschien niet de beste keuze als voorbeeld: hij werd pas veel later ziek, zie hierna een stukje uit zijn biografie.
"It was a great shock to me to discover that I had motor neurone disease. I had never been very well co-ordinated physically as a child. I was not good at ball games, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers. Maybe for this reason, I didn't care much for sport or physical activities. But things seemed to change when I went to Oxford, at the age of 17. I took up coxing and rowing. I was not Boat Race standard, but I got by at the level of inter-College competition.
In my third year at Oxford, however, I noticed that I seemed to be getting more clumsy, and I fell over once or twice for no apparent reason. But it was not until I was at Cambridge, in the following year, that my father noticed, and took me to the family doctor. He referred me to a specialist, and shortly after my 21st birthday, I went into hospital for tests. I was in for two weeks, during which I had a wide variety of tests. "
Zijn ouders stonden dus niet voor de keuze van abortus ja of nee want ze wisten niet dat deze handicap zich zou ontwikkelen.
Over de keuze van abortus al of niet ga ik me niet in de discussie mengen, dat moet ieder voor zich uitmaken vind ik.
