The Irish consider children with Down syndrome a blessing becuse they are full of unconditional love.

I never knew this was an Irish thing

I became aware of their "Unconditional Love" gift when I did some volunteer work with the Special Olympics.

These kids are really something else in their abililties.

However, I would have to support these tests and a parents right to decide what to do. Its not for everyone.

The Irish use the term "gifted" to describe children with Down syndrome.

Even with the "old" test, upwards of 80% of these precious children never breathe their first breath.
I shudder when I consider the implications this cheapening of life will ultimately have on our society.
