Richard Dawkins: "Abort fetuses with Down's Syndrome"

[Dia bando]

The decisions to abort foetuses , on medical grounds remember should be up to the parents,
not the state if the state is in charge, what disability's would they class as to abort foetuses.
Man striving for perfection again in the eye of the state,!!! what happens in years to come
if they could tell you the IQ of your child, you abort if you get a thick fucker, extreme I no
but some people would do it.

When my wife found she was pregnant with twins (we already had 3 kids) we went through a barrage of ultrasounds and tests as we were in our early forties.
We were told after about 3 months that there was a 80% chance of my daughter having downs and a 60% chance that my boy would not survive the pregnancy or at least not long after child birth.
We decided to go through with it. It was a long 5 more months not knowing. Both of my babies are happy and healthy and are now 2.
If they were not would we have regretted not ending their life before hand? I don't think so. Our life is very tough and would be unmeasureably tougher I am sure but that is my story.
I believe in the right to choose even though I was raised Catholic. But I would have been deprived of two beautifull kids if I chose otherwise.
That is just my two cents from my experience.

We should not decide which child is not worthy to live.
