If people were to choose to eliminate such things as Down Syndrome, would sadden me to be honest - a world without it's difference or "imperfections" wouldn't be a place I'd like to live in. It just brings up the notion of "close minded" when I think about it, if anyone gets me?
I think there are some benefits to eliminating certain disabilities (easier life on person and person's family) - but how would one grow tolerance from that later on when they do come across someone with such and such?
I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself. Haha.
Nah, I get what you're saying Celly. One of my husband's cousins just had a baby. When she was pregnant the doctor encouraged her to get an amniocentesis because she was a carrier for a certain disorder or something. But the amniocentesis carries risk of miscarriage . . . so she said "I'll love the baby just the way he or she was made, why would I risk it's life to try to make it perfect?"
I can't stand the woman, but I agree with her stance on it!
