Man with Huntington’s chorea: Better a short life than abortion

A man with Huntington’s chorea in his family was asked if he would have wanted to be aborted. Huntington’s chorea usually strikes at age 40 or so, and causes rapid degeneration of mind and body. It is hereditary.  The man with the disease  said he would not have wanted to be aborted.

“Better a short life and a happy one than none at all. Better take the chance to live well until you’re 40!”

Mary Kenny Abortion: The Whole Story (London: Quartet Books, 1986) 136 – 137
