They should only test for things that they can actually treat neonatally. What good comes from knowing things like this up front? I find it odd that parents want to know the sex of their baby. I like the surprise.

Agreed, alot of these tests are pretty standard and I usually didn't ask questions but my sister in law refused her Down's syndrome test and I took a page from her book. What difference did it make, neither of us would have aborted our babies. At that time, baby was about 12" long before they could take the test.

Article says up to 90% abort due to Down's syndrome? Unbeliveable!

I actually have a rare genetic disorder.My parents were thankfully never given this terrible dilemma.The foundation for children with urea cycle disorders want these disorders to be screen for as well because then these children could get the right treatment as soon as possible . Maybe the results rather will be that children with these disorder will be aborted.Terrible.

No 'good' comes from it. But it's so the parents can abort. Forget the obvious disconnect between the left's ideas on tolerance and acceptance and the eugenics at work here.

And - it feeds the abortion machine that funds the Dems! Can't slow down that money train...

I find it odd that parents don't want to know---surprises ain't fun.
