As a person that had a lot to do with pathological families, I think you are wrong. You are right only if we assume his grandparents are superb human beings. But they literally say "This boy is destined to be sad on his arrival into the world" which indicates they are pretty much selfish. I think a lot of people commenting here try to look at this through western standards. China is different, people are different and their reasoning is different. This is not a movie scenario, this is life
- alistoriv 9y agoI'm not sure I see how that means they're selfish.
- BartBoch 9y agoThis was not born child. It was a frozen embryo that did not belong to them. Grandparents fought for it for selfish reasons of having a grandson while knowing, that the child will be lonely and possibly dysfunctional.
- lostmsu 9y agoWhere did they say "dysfunctional"?
- lainga 9y agoWhere did the parent claim the article was saying "dysfunctional"?
- lostmsu 9y agoThe parents statement assumed, that 1) child will more likely to be dysfunctional 2) grannies knew about it Otherwise it does not make sense. I referred to the statement's inability to back either of these assumptions.
