This page has links to sites that talk about controversial issues many of which those of us with severely handicapped children need to face on a regular basis.  I only provide links to sites I feel are appropriate in my experience as a parent of a child with Hydranencephaly. I am not telling anyone else how they should decide on these various issues.
