What if doctors could someday treat unborn children before birth with a drug or therapy that could reverse the disorder? What kind of impact would that have on the incidence of abortion?
I'm sure they'd be able to find some other excuse.

It's best not to even look for any reasons that might make you come to believe that you wouldn't be happy with your baby before you're actually holding him/her in your arms... then you won't really care to.

Philosophically, I agree, but so much can be done for children with medical problems IF doctors are prepared at the time of delivery. A child with a life-threatening problem has a much better chance of survival if it’s identified before birth.

I don’t know what this has to do with abortion? Except to stop a few of them.

For this purpose, I agree. We told the doctors that they are welcome to perform any tests that might help them to treat mom or baby during pregnancy, birth, or any time following that.

How would society look if the numbers of people with Down Syndrome took an even more drastic decline?I think this would be wonderful. However I am concerned that, just like the controversy that surrounded the introduction of cochlear implants for deaf people, we'll have people who are concerned about the loss of the Down Syndrome "culture."

I believe tomkat is pointing out that it is not the condition that is causing the abortions.

NO NO NO.
It’s their mothers and fathers that DO THAT.
The propaganda is everywhere...

A ‘condition’ can’t choose an abortion, only a human can do that.
