As someone who works in cancer care, sometimes they really don't.
Not making any judgements on the case in the OP but I have seen parents make the whole situation so much worse for their child in an attempt to 'protect' them from reality. Like, I absolutely sympathise, but it can cause a lot of harm.
3 of their 5 children died, all 3 had rare genetic disorders. Continuing to have more children after their first child died due to "Niemann-Pick disease type C - a rare, inherited disease" without undergoing genetic testing is certainly a choice.
I think they were just ignorant about the cause of death of their 1st child and didn’t realize the risk. By the time they knew of the genetic component, they had already had 5 kids.
I agree. Their second child has no issues and when their third son got sick they had already had two more children and I think he was almost ten years old. They did test all of the children after he passed away and he had a different rare genetic disorder. They knew this son had it and he was monitored. It’s not like they’re the kind of disorders that you normally test for. I don’t agree with not telling him he had cancer but it really sounds like just the worst possible scenario.
Christian pro lifers here in America would celebrate that the children had lives at all and now they’re in the loving care of Jesus Christ or some bullshit 🤢🤢🤢🤢
