When you write, "But when there is, if a fetus is 3 months along and Down's is detected and the parents do not feel prepared to cope, I personally don't see that it is wrong to abort that fetus and try to make a healthier one." I have to agree basically, but it makes me cringe a bit as well. As more advanced techniques for diagnosising not only birth defects, but also general characteristics, I believe that our ethics must try to advance with our technologies. As I've stated many times, I'm not as concerned with parents who make an "informed decision" to abort, I just (of course because I have been personally involved) want to make sure that people understand the real nature of the disability. Again, due to my lack of knowledge, I most probably would have made the wrong choice for me.

I'm concerned, that's all.
