As long as the second one has a secure surrounding and people to take care...grandparents for example I dont think it matters...children are very resilient and more accomodating than most adults!

and if the parents compensate for the lost time later I dont think the second child will have any permananent scars on his development/ personality!!

Again I concur to your views, Ashu BUT as a parent.

As a child I wouldn't want to spend time with my grandparents but my parents. I know some parents in US who have sent their kid to India to be taken care of grandparents till age 3 so that both of them can work here. I am sure when this child comes back to live with them he is not going to feel left out and his parents will provide all love and affection he needs.

We have no say in such situations as it is individual matter. But just for argument sake I find that arrangement selfish. If a parent is not able to take care of child then don't bring him to this world.

I know both situations are different. In the first one (Cancer one) ANY parent would do the same what those parents did. But in this case (sending a child to live with grandparents) most won't follow what these parents did.

commoditizing the baby is equivalent to human cloning....😊

Qwerty, At first this sentence hit me strong. But then after a while I realize that you have a point here.

What if tomorrow the only option left to cure your dear one is cloning? Because a clone will have a perfect set of all your organs and actually work as a bank. This is what cloning supporters argue too. Would one agree to have a clone if there is no other option left? Hypothetical situation and arguments please.

1. How many people / children died ( or suffered serious consequences after) donating their bone marrow?? Let us tackle the question from this side 😛😛😛

None. Donating bone marrow doesn't kill anyone.

As a parent, this debate topic is too touchy for me....I can see where both sides are coming from and I agree with both...phew...for a change I agree with all...leave alone someone.

As for cancer treatment...chemo and radiation therapy is done once only...in sets though....like 16 chemos followed by 25 radiations.....that's what my mom had...she has only one more radiation left....then it will be one pill everyday...some cancer medication. If, god forbid, there's a relapse, that's when you go thru the same drill all over again.....so ya, very touchy topic for me.

Gauri, 🤗 I am a parent too and I know what you mean. Just imagine it as a Hypothetical situation and arguments please. If not then it is fine too. I have argued many times for and againt on DM when actually I didn't agree with the situation. But sometimes things become quite personal. Don't worry.

....you know the part about parents loving all their kids equally...my older one says I love the younger one most and younger one accuses that I love her didi mor...I am like...ek ek danda ley lo aur aapas mein faisla kar lo ki hum kissey zyada pyaar kartey hain....and my hubby goes...na na na..yeh option matt do nahin toh dono danda ley ker tumharey peechhey hee lag jayengi😆...kind of like what's happening to our beloved Raksha Mommy at DOTW😆

Sorry for the degression...it was getting way too serious for me to handle....ignore it please😳

FYI - Must watch movie - The Island on cloning. My POV were also based on this, movie :)

oops forgot to mention article is a spoiler if you plan to watch it.

Lets not be too naive here... Giving blood doesnt kill anyone but not many give blood....and we are talking about adults here whereas for BMT you expect a baby to provide the solution...😕

giving blood is good for health, there are certain conditions to fall under the category of blood donor. may be those people dont fit the requirements, therefore, they dont give blood.
