my grand daughter was diagnosed as carrying a Down's baby, the perfectly normal result of her pregnancy can be seen by clicking my screen name.

Beautiful babe. Yeah, they get it wrong too often.

my grand daughter was diagnosed as carrying a Down's baby, the perfectly normal result of her pregnancy can be seen by clicking my screen name.

So was a friend of mine, with the same result. She was strongly counseled to have the child aborted, but just could not bring herself to do it. Not under any circumstances. Turns out that the test for Down's can give a false positive if they have the age of the baby off by a significant amount.

I wonder how many perfectly normal babies have been killed, and how many parents have been denied a child, because of this?

Wow. That's the best argument against so far.

Did they diagnose Down's or did her Triple Screen come back as indicitive of Down's? I contemplated not getting the Triple Screen test at all because they are so unreliable - too many false positives. In the end, I went through with it and the tests came back fine.

BTW, congrats on your great-grand baby. Our first daughter is due to join us in about 5 weeks.
