What's a severe birth defect?

Yeah, I just caught that now because I was so pre-occupied with some other elements of the bill. I'm not too sure about that language...

I'm open to changing it, but the question I had while writing this was "What else is workable?" Just saying "birth defect" is quite broad, and not including an exception at all seems heartless. I'm not sure what the alternative is without resulting in a huge section-all-to-it's-own digression on what constitutes a severe defect.

What were you counting as a birth defect?

I don't think the law should discriminate between, say, Down's babies and "normal" babies... but if a child is likely to live in immense pain, have a severely limited functioning capacity, or be at significant risk of an early death, I could see why we might provide options.

What you described there was basically what I had in mind, I just didn't know what else to write to provide that exception.

Much better worded than I could've come up with. I accept as friendly.

If we had more time, I would have given you a short time to write the text on your own, but we have been held up by this and other issues for over a month on this bill. Tongue

This seems to have enough votes to pass. I'm declaring a twenty-four-hour vote change period.
