I'm the same Sean, but for me the ethical debate ended when we were put in this position, I feel there's an EXTREMELY fine line between helping couples and playing god, playing god for me would be choosing eye colour, hair etc etc, being able to minimise the chance of our baby going through...

It seems currently they do the amniocentesis at 15-20 weeks which has a risk of miscarriage...with this procedure it's done at 3 days, before the embryo is placed inutero...eliminating the risk of miscarriage due to the amniocentesis, minimising cost and eliminating heartache...

Oh for sure, agree with you, when it comes down to it the planet will get rid of us...

It's actually interesting that all the emotions apart from happiness gives inspiration, when i'm happy i seem to have no need to write anything...what I write I struggle to call poetry, it's really just an avenue for getting things out that I otherwise can't say. My partner reads ALL the things...

"You" is my current partner, she is CF and has had a double lung transplant. I was laying in bed one morning and she had already gotten up, I was hugging her pillow full of saddness and fear because she was about to have a sinus surgery in a few days...I...
In a dream state
I move to touch
your warmth
To smell your scent
For comfort
All I find
Is an empty space
Void of life
But with traces of you
Your scent left
On your pillow
The creases
In the sheets
From you
I know will fade
Will your memory
Fade too?
Will it be
Washed away...

The theme
For you
Tears
Of joy
When you
Were born
Tears
Of sadness
Cystic Fibrosis

Tears
Of pain
Fighting
For breath
Tears
Of anguish
Will you die?
Or when?
Tears
Of relief
The phone
It rang
Tears
Of guilt
One died
You lived
Tears
Of loss
You felt
Outcast
