China and Jeremy are condemned by their peers, as they
should be, in the story “The Love of My Life”.
Together they committed the heartless crime of murdering their newborn
daughter by throwing her away in a dumpster.
Boyle showed me how this event is possible, but the story did not make
me understand why this could ever happen.
I could never imagine giving birth to my baby and have the slightest bit
of interest in the child’s life. Even if
I didn’t want to keep the baby, there are places to anonymously take unwanted babies
so that a loving family can have the opportunity to adopt the child. This is what shocked me most about China and
Jeremy, they were both very smart young adults and I can’t understand how they
would handle the situation in the manner that they chose. China knew she was pregnant and did nothing
about it. She could have had an abortion
or gave the baby up for adoption and nobody would have had to know but
Jeremy. There is absolutely no
explanation for their behavior, and should take responsibility for their
horrible actions.
