Dr. Skotko points to the new tests just around the corner and sees a collision coming. Given his important research, we had better see a moral crisis looming. The Culture of Death is gaining momentum before our eyes. Who will be next in line to be considered unworthy of life?

At least more people are starting to wake up to the fact that the culture of death really exists.

I’m just waiting for the reaction when/if, a test can be done to see if an unborn baby will be gay.

Nobody knows what causes homosexuality. If there is a genetic component to that, would some people abort their baby if it would be gay? Or had brown eyes, or any number of characteristics?

I’m against this trend of abortion of fetuses, just saying, as technology and prenatal testing detects various characteristics, where will lines be drawn?

Already in China and India, there is strong anecdotal evidence that unborn baby girls are aborted at high rates.

Ethically, legally, morally, where will lines be drawn on this subject?

No, Downs Syndrome will always occur. This is something I’ve never understood why eugenicists just don’t get. Normal people can have abnormal children, aborting all the abnormal children isn’t going to prevent the incidence of their conception.

You want to have a healthy child, get married early and at a young age. Don’t wait to have kids. Of course, you’ll never hear people talk about that!

We cure the syndrome by eliminating the people... your new health care at work... or do you think government health care will allow Down Syndrome to "existed"

The undesirable must go...

It was no hyperbole, Palin is well aware that "Death Panels" are going to be a real thing in government health care

Just wait, if the Feds take over health care, them will not let “Worthless Eaters” be born.

Can’t have slaves be born that can’t work. (wish I could put an /s tag, but can’t)

If Dr. Mengele O-Bozo Death has his Eugenics way they will. They will be either aborted in the womb or Murdered at birth by his Butchers of Birthing.

Yes, and on average, they are more likely to occur the older the mother.

There’s always exceptions to every rule of thumb.

The little Down babies arrive in heaven flawless ... (but without the love of their mothers). Won't their moms be surprised when they see them in heaven?

I bumped into a girl that I really adore today. Her name is Kara and we were really close friends when we were little. She is 36 now, and she has downs. She is one of the sweetest, most innocent person I know. Stories like this make me sick.

If the left has their way, the “master race” is on its way.. why the minority left is too blind to see this is beyond me...

I have 2 friends who were told they were having down syndrome babies and actually had perfectly healthy children.

That tells me the science isn’t perfect in the detection process and a lot of babies are dying that need not die.

You are quite correct about the accuracy of the tests to date. From the description in the article, it sounds like the new tests will be a lot more accurate.

During my wife’s two pregnancies we flummoxed the doctors by refusing to have amnio done. What’s the point, unless you are considering abortion in case the test comes back “negative?”

Had two beautiful healthy daughters, the younger of which is now 17. She works with “mentally challenged” children and is appalled by the holocaust of Down’s kids.

They will make it mandatory in every pregnancy to perform these tests, and advise upon knowledge of the results (upon any abnormality) a full court press for the parents to abort that pregnancy at the earliest, or latest opportunity...Either way, some government requirement will compell the parents, and order the medical facility, to terminate the baby anyway...

Thats where I believe it will go...
