This is, of course, is good news only to people who would want to abort babies who aren't perfect.

Good News for Would-be Mothers: Early, Non-Invasive Method to Assess Down Syndrome Risk a Success

Good news for would-be mothers.

Bad news for would-be DS kids.

There is always a chance (no pun intended) that this will be wrong and a healthy baby will be aborted. One friend of mine was told that her baby would be horribly disabled. She said, "Then it is God's will." She now has a healthy 8 year old, who was perfect at birth.
There is also a chance that a baby with disabilities will be born. My neighbor is such a case. Her daughter has Angelman's Syndrome. It is a variation of the 15th chromosome. Nothing reveled it.

Good news for mothers...they can now have a non-invasive procedure to determine whether or not they'll rip their living child from their womb. Funny what passes for good news these days.
