“Will your conditions be passed on to the child?” one asked. “It is irresponsible to risk a child’s future for personal desires.”
“Even if the child is healthy, can the couple properly care for them? Imagine the psychological pressure the kid might face during parent-teacher meetings or sports events,” another said.
Others defended her choice, with one saying: “Li is a brave woman. She has the right to have children, but the discrimination she has faced may also befall her child.”
“Respect this incredible mother’s choice. If they have the confidence to raise a child, they must also be ready for any challenges that come their way,” another said.

Amid mounting backlash, Li clarified that she and her husband consulted doctors, who confirmed after multiple checkups that they were fit to be parents.
They were also told by experts that their condition of cerebral palsy is neither genetic nor contagious and also does not have a direct impact on fertility.
Some experts, however, did mention that Li and her husband could face challenges in raising their child due to their own medical conditions.
