Adoption is a wonderful thing. Perhaps something could be tried that way. A lot of people simply do not have what it takes to raise a DS child.
I cannot say for sure that I would until I am in their shoes so I will not cast judgement upon them.....but it seems that being afflicted with Downs’ should not be a death sentence, there should be alternatives.

The whole article is well worth reading. I would add that unless and until each human is valued because each is an eternal soul, loved by God and worthy of respect because of this spiritual identity, no matter what the earthly body looks like or abilities or lack of same, this hateful practice of "eliminating the imperfect" will continue. Looking at individuals as children of God who are known and loved by Him is the solution. Not conditional but unconditional love, not love because of beauty, or smarts, or wealth, or athletic prowess, musical ability or any other ephemeral external value. Just because each of us is created by Him. And yes, I do judge people who decide to kill an unborn baby. I also pity them, and hope and pray that more and more people choose life and love instead of death for their unborn children.
