Shiloh Shepherd? Well now I know what name to use on my next Mass Effect playthrough.

"Shiloh"?

Could you say that to the girls face?
"I think you should have been terminated before you were born."

Deedub, I think your heart is in the right place, but would you choose to live like that?

She's here, she's now, but would you live her life?

Her chances for prom dates, marriage, kisses from hot suiters?

Next to zero. Always the outcast. The freak.

Stop it before it starts, and let her soul rebound to a better place.

Could you say that to the girls face?

"I think you should have been terminated before you were born."

What an ignoramous. That comment made me sick!! Sick, sick, sick! Somebody needs to fix your head.

As someone who comes from a large medical family I believe births like these should simply be terminated. It is a life of utter misery and pain for the individual suffering it.
The partial kidney, missing bladder and fused extremities will mean this child will have to undergo operation after operation to simply lead a nominal life that we take for granted.
This is a fact alot of people simply refuse to face overcome with compassion that we can 'fix' defective births.

So, you think that somebody born with this condition doesn't have the right to exist? Fight the good fight like the rest of us? Yea, she's probably going to have a tougher time, but she still has capabilities. I mean if Steven Hawking's condition were determined while he was still in his mother's womb, should we have aborted him? People learn to cope with the cards they're dealt and we should leave it to them to make the choice to live or die.

"Those who say that the Iraq war has nothing to do with the war on terror seem not to notice that the terrorists themselves obviously think otherwise.

Terrorists are pouring men and military equipment into Iraq, with the help of Iran, and using suicide bombers there for some reason.

Terrorists recognize the high stakes in the outcome of this war, even if growing numbers of people over here refuse to.

To drive the United States out of Iraq would be a huge victory for the terrorists, attracting both recruits and support from around the world, and causing countries around the world to reconsider their ties to the United States.

Much has been made of how long we have already stayed in Iraq, the casualties, and the mistakes that have been made. But both deaths and mistakes have always been inseparable from war.

As for how long we have been in Iraq, the cost of a war is not measured in time. It is measured in lives lost.

While our media are impatiently waiting for the 4,000th American death in Iraq that they can trumpet, and rub our noses in -- in the name of "honoring the troops" -- we need to understand that casualty rates in Iraq are low, as wars go.

If and when that 4,000th American death in Iraq is reached, we need to recall that more Marines than that were lost taking one island in the Pacific during World War II.

During the Civil War, more than twice as many Union soldiers as that were killed -- in one day -- at the battle of Shiloh, and again at Gettysburg.

The "war on terror" is a misleading phrase. It is the terrorists' war against us -- and it is not something that we can unilaterally call off. Our only choice is where to fight it, over there or over here."
