Tell me, what do you guys think of this idea?

All parents are given the option to have their physically or mentally disabled children killed at birth. Not by default every one of them is killed like in the olden days, but at the parent's discretion.
And if the parents DO decide to keep the child, they must be properly informed of all of the struggles that they will face: that the child's cost of living will be more than a normal child's, that the kid will likely not be able to move away and live on his own. Or that they will probably never get to see their child live a normal life.


Now, I know that most of the parents of disabled children (notably mentally) say that their child is a 'blessing' and a 'gift from god', but let's be serious here. I am quite certain that most(if not all) of them secretly think to themselves "Why couldn't he have been normal" or "Why did I get stuck with this burden?"
I'm simply saying, it should be a legal option. I wouldn't even care if the whole world calls the parents in question monsters for doing it.
