Basically eugenics then. I've never understood the phenomenon of people getting to pick and choose what traits and diseases their offspring are born with, although obviously the more horrible and life-debilitating should be carefully considered. But as others have said, downs syndrome is so inconsequential in the happiness and upbringing of a child that this seems... I don't know, disrespectful to those who have it.

It's a difficult issue of course because eliminating a disease should always be a goal but what does it say to those already with it?
