At his mother's behest, he married a 26-year-old Chinese national within weeks of being introduced. He was 53 and never intended to get married

His mum shd find someone ard his age.

 

[glarerder]

such planning is walking on tight rope
not much room for error

Only the wealthy have enough for backup plan. The rest are all walking on tight ropes. All don't give birth is the best then.

He probably can explore two routes with social worker's help:

1. to find a care home for his son asap coz this will take time. Most spec needs people need long time to settle down in a new environment, and he sees how he can pass peacefully with the knowledge that his son has managed to settle down.

2. keep the son under his care until he no longer able to, and then pass with the worrying thoughts about what is going to happen to his son.

You see the issue about parents, they always feel their children are better than their actual worth.

An example where marriage isn't always better. Especially at that age and if it involves a much younger foreigner. I wonder if his child's condition was due to his age at that time.

His mom must be thinking of getting his son a younger wife so that there will be someone to look after her son after she passes.

 

[econ food]

Guys from age 45 should not even think bout having kids anymore

Thought 高龄产妇 then got risk. What have it got to do with men. If any, think men determine boy or girl.

Anyway, think if not wrong, every child got half the genes from both parent. And not all the genes are used. Its all a lucky draw which of it will be used to form the 20 plus from each parent. So there might be not so good one in the mix that get pass on and drawn out.

Scientifically, both men and women carry the risk of genetic defects (other than hereditary ones) in their offspring with age. Sperm decreases in quality as men grow older. The main difference is that men continue to produce sperm through their lives while women has a definite stop to ovulation.

Saw some quote mentioned online, think it make sense. Parent can only accompany one for the first half of life. Children will also have their own family and life when they get married.

So the only one that can really accompany one till life end is the spouse. Thus, choosing the right spouse is very important. Only the ones that can accompany one till the end then is real family.

That's why for most parents, they will hope their children find someone that can accompany them through life.

 

[iosnewbie]

The article said “doctor had not alerted them to any abnormalities”. Do or should doctors have a legal obligation to inform expecting parents about potential genetic defects of their unborn child?

 

[zoossh]

At 53 chiu think young ladies like chiu...

That is not the issue though. She dun have to like him.

issue is the mother dump her own kid when things gets difficult

Does it matter if it is a 21, 26 or 35 year old mum dumping a young child?

maybe I’m the only person around who often think age most of the time does not matter. It is the mindset the intention and the act that matters

As you rightly used the word 'find" but in this instance, the someone was not found but rather bought.

Also, it's not just 'can' accompany but 'will' accompany.

[the_dog]

Think many is of the impression those pre-natal checks can identify those more serious issues bah. Give many they also will be surprised under that expectation.

 

[GreatPumpkin]

This is why people should not just blindly follow the wishes of their elders.

Similarly seniors should not be so selfish and treat their kids as some kind of chattel.

Grandma fulfils her qing dynasty kpi but her son suffers in old age while grandson suffers from birth.
