Upset-fire on the reaction of those who followed them the story on TV, Cristina Bălan posted an open letter on her personal Facebook account explaining why she did not have an abortion, although she knew during pregnancy that twins could have Down Syndrome.
“Yes, I admit it, I was wrong. I’m guilty of culpable homicide. I didn’t find another term closer to what I want to express. Ah, and concealment, complicity, I suppose. Hard to believe, but Following yesterday’s revelations (Monday, March 21, no.), there are people who accuse me of not killing my babies in my womb. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this attitude and understand how they were able to get such nonsense out and, especially, where they got it from. Of course not from the heart. I have a suspicion of where, but it’s not the time to express it … Anyway, it’s deep “, Cristina Bălan started the open letter she published on her Facebook account.
“I won’t be hypocritical to say I wanted children with Down Syndrome”
“Okay, we’re not all sentimental, sensitive, and empathetic, but for His sake, how can anyone be so cynical as to see therapeutic / medical abortion as a solution for an” imperfect “child ?! (I can put links with disabled people, who even spit the seeds out more talented than a non-disabled one). How can we know what a great destiny a person with a disability can have and how many souls he can inspire through personal example? How can you judge everything only by standards implemented in our consciousness as microchips? And, I repeat, how can you know that your baby, born typical and healthy, will not have a disability acquired along the way? Autism, accident, diabetes, epilepsy … What would you do with the “defect”? Then would you kill him? And if you are outraged by this idea, please tell me the difference between killing a 24-week-old baby and a 52-week-old baby (or you put a number), ”the soloist wrote.
It is a bit sad if your love for a being is conditioned by “perfection”. No, I will not be hypocritical in saying that I wanted children with SD (Down Syndrome, no), to the detriment of some typical (or normal, as you call them). But do you know why? Precisely because we live this separatism between typical and special. If they were after many primates, the special ones should sit quietly and gathered in their centers, not to harm the sensitive souls of those who look at them under the eyebrows, as if to some curiosities “, continued Cristina Bălan.
Following her open letter, the soloist who won the “Voice of Romania” in December 2015 also explained why made his story public on Monday (March 21st), on World Down Syndrome Day, in a reporter broadcast by PRO TV: “Yesterday (Monday, March 21, no.) I made a great effort to drag my feet to that plateau, to speak for so many special children and, really, this was not a topic of debate. You can’t debate that. I mean … what evil does your heart let you say about these children ??? Like what? That their existence bothers you? Oops, is the perfection of your being threatened by the flaws of some individuals you don’t understand? Don’t tell me you’re interested in their lives, the way they are cared for or what they feel (because yes, they feel, it’s not their disabilities, it’s you). What have I been blamed for? That I did not do gender (ethical) tests. Some enlightened minds (with LEDs) found the solution that could prevent this “misfortune”, this “curse” (also collected from the people, but not from oral, but from virtual). Luckily there are people who wrote, in response to these enlightenments, that they did test after test (with good results) and after birth, surprise! The child had SD or other. Not to mention that I know a case of a pregnant woman who did the triple test (with a screw, just to joke) and the results showed that the baby has SD. My mother was advised not to have an abortion, because it’s just not a big deal to kill something out of sight. It’s just an abstract notion, not a life … With all the “good” advice, the woman decided to keep her child, for the trivial and insignificant reason that it’s hers and, no, she kind of loves him (poor, from her neurons were dizzy during pregnancy, right?). Well, the baby was born healthy, cheerful and more typical than diCaprio (meaning no SD bau-bau). I sit and wonder … if the woman in question had an abortion and the doctors found out that the test was a bit wrong, did anyone feel guilty? It’s rhetoric, I know the mentality of the butcher “.
“Another issue that totally upsets me: how garden dwarfs it is possible for so many beautiful, warm, intelligent, talented people (who have special children) to feel the need for isolation, the need to hide, to run away, just because you , that you look crooked at everything is different and less perfect than you, you are not able to accept their children, siblings etc? I’m one of them. She may not be beautiful, smart, or warm (it’s true that my hands and feet are always cold. My feet, yes, not all feet are cold), but I feel the tendency to isolate her. That’s because you, the superior primate, look at me with contempt, superiority, reproach, disgust and intolerance. Don’t we have a place in your world full of skills? In conclusion, although it is very possible that I will continue to edit the letter as I remember some things to clarify, I want to show my disappointment to some journalists, who, again, are not able to make a statement without altering it by omission, attachment of ideas, inattention (mna, if she can no longer smoke at her own and personal office …) etc etc. So if it appears somewhere written that I stated that my task was defective, close the link / site / application / tv / radio etc. I read somewhere this nonsense, written by someone who probably listened to my interview with the nape of the neck, that the ears were certainly full of wax (plugs, that it is normal to have wax in the ears and it is even contraindicated to clean it with sticks that push wax on ear canal and can cause damage to the eardrum). Sorry, the wave took me. In other words, no, I’m no more sinful than you. And my karma isn’t a bitch either. I’m not lost / incapable either. My children are not vegetables. He doesn’t even “suffer” from Down Syndrome. They are not sick either (I would dare say that their immunity is better than many typical ones).
But if you can do no more than make stereotypical statements, behind a gadget, then congratulations, you are a superior primate! And I wish you never had a special child. No, not because it would be a misfortune, but because you could not cope, and that soul would deserve, anyway, infinitely more. For example, a Man “, Cristina Bălan also wrote, at the end of her open letter.
What is Down Syndrome
The ALSO-CET association explains what Down Syndrome is: “Down syndrome is not a disease! Down syndrome it is a genetic modification! Down syndrome is a natural chromosomal disorder that has always been part of the human condition, being universally present in all nations, genders and socio-economic backgrounds, occurring approximately 1 in 800 newborns, although there is great variation in this incidence throughout the world. world. Down syndrome is a lifelong genetic condition that occurs at the time of conception. Every child with Down Syndrome is unique in their own way, just like all other children. The abilities, characteristics and interests of the child with Down Syndrome vary greatly from person to person. Down syndrome causes various disabilities and associated medical problems. Even though all people with Down Syndrome have some degree of learning disabilities, many of these people lead semi-independent and fulfilling lives. A syndrome is a combination of different symptoms. Down syndrome is a chromosomal dysfunction. A person with Down syndrome additionally has a copy of all or only part of chromosome 21. Chromosome 21 is the smallest of the human chromosomes. In other words, your baby has 47 chromosomes instead of 46. A newborn with Down Syndrome occurs at about 650-1,000 births. Approximately 30,000 people with Down Syndrome live in Romania. A Romanian parent called chromosome 21 “the chromosome of love.”
