"Soon it will be a sin of parents to have a child that carries the heavy burden of genetic disease. We are entering a world where we have to consider the quality of our children."

Why do these scientists think we should take them seriously when they reveal their hypocrisy in their own statements. If it's a sin, then they accept an objective moral standard outside themselves such as God. But if they did accept God then they would value life as a creation in the image of God. So these scientists are hypocrites from the very start.

The scientist's concerns about the "quality" of our children is just a code phrase for genetic selections. the problem is, whose genetic ideal is to be followed? Clearly Hitler lead the way in their mindset with the pure Aryan race and his efforts to pay attention to the "quality" of our children. These scientists are nothing more than latter day Nazis at heart...but would rather couch their bigotry as concern.

New Study Fuels Controversy Over Down Syndrome Abortions - "What I see today in America is in many respects the repeat of the eugenics era of American history back in the early 1900s, where infants were allowed to starve to death because they had deformities or abnormalities, where it was suggested that people who did not have the appropriate brain power should be sterilized or not allowed to have children"
