Different strokes, I guess.

Yes, different people make different choices. I would not deign to judge such a personal choice.

I guess what I am attempting so say, is that a good life should not be defined by our definitions of the good life. That being the case, and absent physical pain, there isn't anything selfish about the parents actions, in fact they have taken on sacrifices that would break the average person. There son will experience life in a way that we can neither condemn much less comprehend.

Well said.
