V. Read and translate the text «The unborn child». A wife and a husband have to make a difficult decision. Find out: What are they trying to decide?

THE UNBORN CHILD

Sia and her husband, Ashat, have tо make a very difficult decision. Sia, 38 years old, and Ashat, 42, have always wanted a child. They have been mar­ried for 10 years and tried for a long time to have a baby.

Now Sia is three months pregnant. Their doctor just told them that the fetus's brain is not developing properly. If Sia gives birth, the baby will be badly handicapped, both mentally and physically. It will always need special care and special schools.

Sia is depressed and con­fused. She is against abortion and she really wants to have a baby now. Three years ago, Sia was pregnant but lost the fetus in the fourth month. This pregnancy may be her last chance. She thinks she can love and take care of the baby, no matter how handicapped it might be.

While Ashat has always been opposed to abortion, he is having second thoughts. Ashat has a good job, and the health insurance from his com­pany will pay for Sia's pregnancy. But it will not pay for all of the costs of the special care and schools that the child will need. Ashat is worried about the future, after the baby is born. He wonders what kind of life it can have. Ashat also wonders how a badly handi­capped baby will change their lives. Finally, he is very wor­ried about money. They will not have enough money for the special care and schools. What should they do? Should Sia have an abortion? Or should she have the baby and face the future then? But she must consider the feelings of her husband. Together they somehow must make a decision.


VI. True or false?

  1. Sia is 39 years old.

  2. Three years ago, Sia was pregnant but lost the fetus in the fourth month.

  3. Ashat has a bad job.

  4. Ashat is sure that his company will pay for all of the costs of the special care and schools that the child will need.

  5. Ashat is very worried about money.

  6. Sia thinks she can love and take care of the baby, no matter how handicapped it might be.

VII. Put in the right order.

  1. They will not have enough money for the special care and schools.

  2. He wonders what kind of life it can have.

  3. Sia is depressed and con­fused.

  4. It will always need special care and special schools.

  5. Sia and her husband, Ashat, have tо make a very difficult decision.

  6. The fetus's brain is not developing properly.

  7. They tried for a long time to have a baby.

  8. This pregnancy may be her last chance.

  9. She really wants to have a baby now.

  10. Ashat is worried about the future, after the baby is born.

VIII. Do you agree with the following proverb:

«He that has no children knows not what is love»?

What do you think?

Is abortion the right decision in this case? Check the opinions you agree with.

  • I think so. The baby has no future. Both the child and the parents will only suffer.

  • Yes. Doctors don't know everything Perhaps Sia will be able to have another baby.

  • No, Sia should have the baby. All children, handi­capped or normal, have the right to be born.

  • No, an abortion is not the answer. This might be their last chance to have a baby.

  • Miracles can happen. Maybe this baby will be fine. They should have the baby.

Looking at the issue

Is abortion legal in your country?

completely legal legal in some situations completely illegal

In what situations should abortion be allowed? Check all that you agree with.

  • When the mother does not want the pregnancy

  • When the parents do not want the pregnancy

  • When the mother's health is in danger

  • When the pregnancy is because of rape

  • When the parents are very young

  • When the baby is going to be handicapped

  • It should never be allowed, regardless of the reasons.

V. Wali Abunit has not been healthy recently. Read his conversation with his doctor and find out: what makes him feel so bad?

For the Sake of Children

"Wali, the results of the tests show that your blood pressure is high... too high for a man of your age. What's wrong?" asks Dr. Netaka.

"I don't know. Well, you know, I just don't feel happy. I'm depressed. Is that strange?'

"No, not at all. Unfortunately, many people are like that. Do you have any idea what's causing your depression?"


Wali hangs his head and stares at the floor. He is embar­rassed. He starts to say some­thing, but stops.

"Hmm," says his doctor. ‘I think you know what's wrong. You can tell me. I won't tell anyone else, not even your wife, Fionia."

"My wife...Fionia. It's funny that you should mention her name," says Wali. "Actually, I think my marriage is the prob­lem. Did you know we've been married for 15 years? Fifteen long years," Wali sighs. "Our marriage is terrible. We fight and argue all the time. We can never agree on anything. It's hard for me to live with her. I guess...I don't love my wife anymore."

"What about your two children? Do you love them?" asks Dr. Netaka.

"Yes, very much. And that's part of the problem. I'm afraid to get a divorce because of the children. I think Fionia and I will have to stay married for the sake of the children."

Dr. Netaka thinks about this for a minute and then asks Wali, "Why? Why do you think you have to stay with your wife because of your children?"

"Everyone knows that children suffer when their par­ents get divorced. I don't want my children to suffer and be unhappy and confused. And I don't want to lose them. If I divorce Fionia, she will probably keep the children. I would only be able to see them every now and then. I couldn't bear that. I would miss them too much."
