[quote=Anonymous]I'm fairly pro-choice but this is where decisions get difficult. I understand an unexpected pregnancy and wanting to terminate. But it's a more complicated decision when people effectively start playing God. Maybe they don't want an SN child, but what's next? I'm sure we'll have tests (if we dont' already) for various other characteristics, like if your child is blonde, will be tall, etc. Are those reasons to terminate? I know I'm way biased though -- my brother has Down's Syndrome and I shudder to think what my life would be like without him. Sure, growing up was difficult because I was jealous that he got all the attention and I didn't (he needed it), but is life always meant to be a matter of taking the easy route? DW and I are TTC now, and I really really hope we aren't faced with such a decision.[/quote]
