Healthy babies can end up being disabled through illness or accident, should parents turn their backs in that scenario as well?

That is my point no one would become a parent if they thought about all the ifs and buts, one of his arguments is the burden and worry a downs child will bring down the road, but that can be said of any child. As someone else said there is no right or wrong decision.
