I have several aquaintances who are retired and/or active millitary and use Tri-Care. In various discussions, ALL of them have mentioned that during at least one pregnancy, a genetic test came back having an "abnormal marker" and that they were PUSHED for genetic counseling. One was even threatened with a termination of maternity benefits if they didn't meet with a genetic counselor. BTW, all of these people have healthy babies.

How's Dad doing, knowing every time he looks at his beautiful, perfect daughter, that he wanted to kill her?...
Hows dad doing knowing he was willing to kill her because she wasn't as pretty, or for any reason.

I know of many folk who "apparently were good Christians" until they "needed" to kill their unborn children, Those are some who must not know God can see them. Their Christianiy must be based on what man thinks of them. I know a few of them too.

However, 75 percent of all babies with Down syndrome are born to women under 35.************
Wow. I don't recall hearing this statistic from any doctor.

So, being the kind, benevolent person that you are, how do you determine whether abortion (be it through chemically buring the infant's skin, or chopping its limbs off, either one being sans anesthesia) is less painful than birth and natural death?
Or do you only play God on the internet?

It was obvious from the start that you play a god unto yourself. Your responses are not surprising, but you are basically a deceiver and now we are clear on that by comparing your previous responses.

I do not pretend to be conversant with the details of the medical procedure used; but if competent medical advice informed me that a child would live only a brief time, in pain, then I would subugate my needs/desires to the higher good of minimizing the child's pain and trauma. If that meant terminating the pregnancy, so be it, and the earlier the better--the less chance of pain and suffering, the better.Surely then we should extend this notion beyond the womb and terminate the pain and suffering of untold post natal human beings. We can allow competent medical people to determine who should be terminated based on their professional opinion that the human being in question is suffering from some degree of excessive pain, determined of course by those same medical competents, therefore minimizing the lifetime total of suffering and pain.
Do you think we should allow the human being in question to have veto power over his/her termination?
