[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just another viewpoint OP.

My youngest sibling was born without any defects, however was diagnosed with autism at age 3.

He is nonverbal, not potty-trained, and throws constant fits.  He is now 14 and weighs 160 pounds.  He will never live independently, he most likely will never be able to feed or wash himself.

If you don't think your prepared to have an infant that has Downs, why do you think your prepared for parenthood?  Anything could happen.  You step up to the plate when whatever comes at you happens.[/quote]

And if a screening test were available that could have detected this illness before birth, do you think your parents would have chosen to being a profoundly ill child into the world, one who would never be verbal, potty-trained, or independent, and whose future holds little or no hope of improvement?  I know I wouldn't have done that to you or to my children.  Will you care for your brother when your patents are dead?

[b]Abortion can be the healthiest, most loving choice for a family.[/b]  It doesn't make her a bad patent that she thinks it might be best.[/quote]

Why stop at birth?  Why not let parents keep the power to stop their children's heartbeat anytime they decide they are not up to the task?[/quote]
