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.
