[quote=Anonymous]^^^I didn't say they were "selfish witches" and I don't believe that. I think people do make these decisions based on fear and I think it's sad that more people can't come around to the belief that people with Ds should be able to live. Can you honestly say that terminating for Ds is in the best interest of the kid? You may think you wouldn't be happy living with an intellectual disability, but most people with Ds [b]self-report[/b][b] being happy with their lives. And let's face it, examples that will pop up after I post this notwithstanding, most people on DCUM do have the resources to care for a child with Ds. And isn't it a valid question: if you truly feel incapable or unwilling to raise a child with a disabling condition should you plan to have children. You really do never know what you're going to get. The things that can be eliminated through prenatal testing just scratch the surface of what can "go wrong."[/quote]
