When my ob-gyn offered some Down Syndrome test, I refused it because I was having the child no matter what. People of conscience will do the same. So, is the next step to force the test on those expecting babies and refuse to pay for the expenses of Down Syndrome babies?

Raising the prospect of a world without birth defects, a Stanford-created blood test that can detect Down syndrome and two other major genetic defects very early in a woman's pregnancy will be available this week.
When does the one that detects homosexuality become available?

You got that right. America is just begging for a harsh judgement.

If this test isn’t absolutely 100% accurate,
they are dooming “healthy” babies to death.
I for one don’t believe a “downs” baby has any less value than a “healthy” baby.

Think of all the wars, slavery, suffering and discrimination that has happened because of the shape of a persons nose, or the color of their skin. Now what do you think will happen when there really is a superior race?

It’s not going to send abortions soaring, because only a small number of abortions are done for chromosomal reasons. 80% of detected DS pregnancies are already aborted, and 80% of undetected DS pregnancies miscarry naturally, usually early on.
They test women who’ve already had a baby with a chromosomal abnormality, but fetal cells linger in the mother’s body after the pregnancy, so it’s possible that cells from a previous baby will be detected.
I’m sure they’ll follow up any positive result (medicine is strange - positive usually means bad) with CVS or amnio before going on with abortion.
Not that this is a good thing.
