Usana olungekazalwa kwiinyanga ezintlanu
NDINE khange uhlale phantsi, uphefumlelwe ukujongana nomxholo, ukanti awunanto yakuthetha. Namhlanje andinakuthetha.
Ndacinga emva kwayo yonke le minyaka, ukuba ndisiva yonke into ekhoyo ukuva ngokukhupha isisu. Kodwa ndandingalunganga. Ndacinga ukothuka "ukukhupha isisu"iya kuba ngumda kuluntu lwethu" olukhululekileyo lwentando yesininzi "lokuvumela ukubulala ubomi bungekazalwa (kuchazwe ukukhupha isisu ngokuzalwa Apha). Kodwa ndandingalunganga. Kukho enye indlela ebizwa ngokuba "kukuzalwa kwesisu okuphilayo" okwenziwa eMelika. Ndiza kuvumela umongikazi wangaphambili, uJill Stanek, ukuba akubalisele ibali lakhe:
Bendisebenza unyaka omnye kwisibhedlele iChrist e-Oak Lawn, eIllinois, njengomongikazi obhalisiweyo kwiSebe lezabaSebenzi kunye nokuHanjiswa kweeNkonzo, ndathi ndakuva kwingxelo ukuba sasikhupha isisu esisesiqwini sesibini esine-Down's syndrome. Ndothuka ngokupheleleyo. Ngapha koko, ndikhethe ngokukhethekileyo ukusebenza kwisibhedlele iChristian kuba sasisisibhedlele samaKrestu kwaye sasingabandakanyeki, ndacinga ke ngokuqhomfa….
Kodwa eyona nto yayikhathaza kakhulu yayikukufunda ngendlela iChrist Hospital esebenzisa ngayo isisu, ebizwa ngokuba sisisu sokukhupha isisu, ngoku esaziwa ngokuba "sisisu sokuzalwa." Kule nkqubo yokukhipha isisu oogqirha abazami ukubulala umntwana esibelekweni. Injongo kukunikezela ngaphambi kwexesha umntwana osweleke ngexesha lokuzalwa okanye kungekudala emva koko.
Ukwenza ukukhupha isisu okunyanzelisiweyo, ugqirha okanye umhlali ufaka iyeza kumjelo wokuzalwa kamama kufutshane nomlomo wesibeleko. Umlomo wesibeleko kukuvula ezantsi kwesibeleko okuhlala kuhlala kuvaliwe de umama abe malunga neeveki ezingama-40 ekhulelwe kwaye ekulungele ukuhambisa. Eli yeza liyacaphukisa umlomo wesibeleko kwaye livuselele ukuba livule kwangoko. Xa oku kusenzeka, ikota yesibini okanye yesithathu yekota yokuqala, umntwana ogqitywe ngokupheleleyo uwela ngaphandle kwesibeleko, ngamanye amaxesha uyaphila. Ngokomthetho, ukuba umntwana okhuphe isisu uzelwe ephila, kufuneka kukhutshwe izatifikethi zokuzalwa nezokusweleka. Okumangalisayo kukuba, kwisibhedlele iChristian unobangela wokufa odla ngokudweliswa kwiintsana eziphilayo eziqhomfwayo "kukungakhuli ngokwaneleyo," nto leyo evunywa ngoogqirha ukuba bakubangele oku.
Kuqhelekile ukuba umntwana okhulelweyo okhulelweyo aphile ixesha elingangeyure okanye ezimbini okanye nangaphezulu. Kwisibhedlele iChristian omnye waba bantwana wayehlala phantse isithuba seeyure ezisibhozo. Olunye usana oluqhomfwe luphilile, kuba iChrist Hospital iyakuphinda ikhuphe isisu ubomi bayo bonke okanye "impilo" kamama, kunye nodlwengulo okanye umbulo.
Kwimeko apho umntwana ophunjiweyo ezelwe ephila, yena okanye yena ufumana "ukhathalelo lokuthuthuzelwa," okuchazwa njengokugcina umntwana efudumele ngengubo ade afe. Abazali banokubamba umntwana ukuba banqwenela. Ukuba abazali abafuni ukubamba umntwana wabo oswelekileyo okhulelweyo, umntu osebenza naye ukhathalela umntwana ade afe. Ukuba abasebenzi abanalo ixesha okanye umnqweno wokubamba umntwana, usiwa kwisibhedlele saseChristian esitsha Igumbi lokuthuthuzela, egqibeleleyo nge Umatshini wokuqala weFoto ukuba abazali bafuna imifanekiso yobungcali yosana lwabo olukhulelweyo, izinto zokubhaptiza, iigawuni, kunye nezatifikethi, izixhobo zokuprinta iinyawo kunye neentsimbi zabantwana zememos, kunye a isitulo esigqampayo. Phambi kokuba kusekwe igumbi lokuthuthuzela, iintsana zasiwa kwigumbi lokungcola ukuze zife.
Ngobunye ubusuku, umongikazi owayesebenza naye wayethatha usana lwe-Down's syndrome olwaluphunze luphila luye kwigumbi lokuSebenzisa eliCocekileyo ngenxa yokuba abazali bakhe babengafuni ukumbamba, kwaye wayengenalo nexesha lokumbamba. Khange ndikwazi ukuyithwala le ngcinga yokuba lo mntwana ubandezeleka esweleka yedwa kwigumbi lokuSebenzisa elicocekileyo, ndiye ndambamba ndaza ndamnyikimisa kangangemizuzu engama-45 awayephila ngayo. Wayephakathi kwama-21 nama-22 eeveki ubudala, enobunzima obumalunga ne-1/2 leeponti, kwaye wayenobude obumalunga nee-intshi ezili-10. Wayebuthathaka kakhulu ukuba angashukuma kakhulu, echitha nawaphi na amandla awayezama ukuphefumla. Ukuya esiphelweni wayethule cwaka kangangokuba andinakuxelela ukuba usaphila na. Ndiye ndambamba ndakhanyisa ekukhanyeni ndizobona ngodonga lwesifuba sakhe ukuba intliziyo yakhe ibisabetha na. Emva kokuba kuthiwe ufile, sasonga izandla zakhe esifubeni sakhe, samsongela ngengubo encinci, saza samsa kwindawo yokugcina abaguli esibhedlele apho bonke abaguli bethu abafileyo bathathwa khona.
Emva kokuba ndibambe olo sana, ubunzima bento endiyaziyo baba nzima kakhulu ukuba ndibuthwale. Ndineendlela ezimbini zokukhetha. Olunye ukhetho yayikukushiya esibhedlele uyokusebenza esibhedlele esingakhange sikhuphe isisu. Enye yayikukuzama ukutshintsha indlela yokuqhomfa isisu seChristmas. Emva koko, ndafunda iSibhalo esathetha ngqo nam kunye nemeko yam. IMizekeliso 24: 11-12 ithi,
Hlangula abo bagwetyelwe ukufa; sukuma ngasemva kwaye mabafe. Ungazami ukubala uxanduva ngokuthi ubungazi ngalo. Kuba uThixo, owazi zonke iintliziyo, uyazi ezakho, kwaye uyazi ukuba ubusazi! Wobuyekeza bonke ngokwemisebenzi yabo.
Ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiyeke ngeloxesha ukungakhathali nokungamthobeli uThixo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ndingonwaba ngakumbi xa ndinokuphuma esibhedlele, kodwa iintsana ziya kuqhubeka nokufa.
Uhambo endithathelwe nguThixo ukusukela oko ndaphuma kuqala ukuthobela ukulwa nokuqhomfa kwisibhedlele esinegama emva koNyana wakhe kube nzima kakhulu! Ndihambahamba ilizwe lonke ngoku, ndichaza endikubonileyo okanye abanye abasebenzi. Ndikhe ndangqina amatyeli amane phambi kweKomitana yeSizwe kunye ne-Illinois. Kuyaziswa iiBill zokumisa le ndlela yokuqhomfa ekhokelela ekubulaweni kweentsana. Umxholo weSibhedlele iChristian kunye nokukhulelwa kokuzalwa kwesisu uzuze ingqalelo yoluntu. Iinkcazo "zokukhupha isisu ngokuzalwa" zixeliwe kumabonakude wesizwe, kunomathotholo, ngokuprinta, nangowiso-mthetho lwasekhaya nolwesizwe.
Omnye umongikazi ovela kwisibhedlele iChrist naye wangqina nam eWashington. UAllison uchaze ukungena kwigumbi elisebenzisiweyo lokungcolisa izihlandlo ezibini ezahlukileyo ukufumana iintsana eziphilayo ezikhutshiweyo ezishiye ze kwisikali nakwikhawuntari yentsimbi. Ndangqina ngomsebenzi owaphosa ngengozi usana oluphila ngokulahla inkunkuma. Usana belushiywe ekhawuntarini yeGumbi loSetyenziso oluMdaka lusongelwe ngetawuli elahliweyo. Xa umntu endisebenza naye eyibonayo into ayenzileyo, waqala wadlula emgqomeni wayokufumana umntwana, kwaye umntwana wawa phantsi kwetawuli waya phantsi.
Ezinye izibhedlele ngoku zivumile ukuba zenza isisu ngokuzalwa. Kuyabonakala ukuba ayisiyondlela inqabileyo yokuqhomfa. Kodwa i-Christ Hospital yayisisibhedlele sokuqala e-United States ukubhengezwa esidlangalaleni ngokwenza olu hlobo lokuqhomfa.
Nge-31 ka-Agasti ka-2001, emva komlo wesibhedlele ngo-2-1 / 2, ndaye ndagxothwa. Ndikhululekile ngoku ukuba ndixoxe ngokuphandle ngobubi bokukhupha isisu emva kokubona ukoyikeka kwamehlo am. Ndingqina ngokwam ukuba Lowo + UThixo = uninzi. Ngamnye wethu unelizwi ekufuneka silisebenzisile ukunqanda ububi bokuqhomfa.

ECanada, akukabikho semthethweni ukubonelela ngesiyobisi esenzelwe ukufumana ukuphuma kwesisu. Ayikuko ukubulala, kodwa ulwaphulo-mthetho umntu anokuthi avalelwe kulo ukuya kufikelela kwiminyaka emibini (Uhlaziyo: UJill Stanek wandibhalela kwaye wanikezela ikhonkco kulwazi malunga nokuzala okukhulelweyo kwenzeka eCanada. Unokufunda malunga nayo Apha.) Nangona kunjalo, kusemthethweni ukubulala umntwana ongekazalwa nangaliphi na ixesha ngaphambi kokuba umama aqalise ukuzala — elinye lamazwe ambalwa emhlabeni avumela ukufa ngabom kweentsana ezizelweyo.
