... The epoch times was founded in 2000 by John Tang, an Atlanta-based follower of the Chinese spiritual movement Falun Gong, whose members you might have seen doing meditative exercises in parks, and whose living messiah is Li Hongzhi, a cherubic-faced man generally shown wearing dark suits. The movement, which claims to have millions of adherents, encourages believers to abandon lust, greed, alcohol, and other worldly “attachments.” Some of the more unusual characteristics of its outlook include a distrust of medical doctors and a belief in malevolent, Earth-roaming aliens who created impious technology (such as video games).

In Denmark, more than 95 percent of those who receive a DS diagnosis choose to abort their child. In 2019, only 18 children with Down Syndrome were born in the entire country.While Zhang claims to present readers what she calls an “emotional ground truth” by giving pros and cons to the DS abortion debate and “humanizing”...
Sounds so flippant, not to explain in just what manner that suppression takes. Like saying, "Berlin labeled Judaism a cult and supressed it." Ho, hum... as if The Atlantic is saying concentration camps are just places people are sent on vacation, to collect their thoughts.
Yep, no chance of the members of this cult ever doing anything really weird, bizarre, and suicidal!
Here's wishing them well as they speed their way to paradise on the tail of the next comet! Hope that they stocked up on enough Flavr-Savr!
