It makes bioethicking look like a descending Tsunami of enforced euthanasia.This powerful message comes from a neurologist who sees the profession evolving into a death facilitation role.
A sampling....
When I began the practice of neurology, a quarter of a century ago, I often saw children with Downs syndrome. Now, there are none. As the only neurologist who sees children in a 300 mile radius of a very rapidly growing metropolitan area, Ive not seen a single case in 2 years. Genetic testing has ensured that virtually all Downs children are aborted during pregnancy, despite the fact that many children with Downs syndrome have normal intelligence. Pro-life obstetricians have largely disappeared from US medicine. With the exception of the handful of Obstetricians and Gynecologists physicians in the American Association of Pro Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, they are now in other walks of life. They left the practice a long time ago.

Therefore, we should allow some experiments on the local level for the purpose of accumulating experience.
