I often call them all "my child".

Never did drugs/used alcohol. Having kids just fucks up your brain. I constantly mix up my kids names. The cat's name.
My mother did the same thing. It's sad and funny at the same time.

The article says a pregnancy was terminated due to the disorder and the couple doesn't plan to have any more children.
Not every disorder can be screened for using IVF, perhaps this is one of them.

I have severe migraines that have neurological symptoms (like I have had a stroke). For example- I have briefly forgotten my children's names, how to tie my shoes, how to use a phone. I still have memory loss and other neurological issues (like a severe inability to do math and aphasia) even despite treatment.
Before treatment, I was getting migraines most days a month (over 25).

For about a year, I received botox treatments for migraines. Every single time I came in to the neurologist's office for the treatment, I had to sign paperwork stating I wanted to be receive everything possible (the full code) if neccessary or they would not do the botox.
I'm guessing it's similar. A small, but slight risk of something going terribly wrong.

Reply to comment by doterobcn in TIL that when former White House press secretary James Brady died in 2014, his death was ruled a homicide because it was ultimately caused by a gunshot wound he sustained in 1981, during the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by IAmTiborius
I've seen it ruled as homicide as well, when the victim of shaken baby syndrome dies of their injuries after a consider length of time. Sometimes years/decades later.
They died from their injuries caused by the act- it just was really slow at killing them.
