What if doctors could someday treat unborn children before birth with a drug or therapy that could reverse the disorder? What kind of impact would that have on the incidence of abortion?

I'm sure they'd be able to find some other excuse.

Babies are aborted for correctable medical problems: club foot, cleft palate, heart defects.

I don’t know what this has to do with abortion? Except to stop a few of them.

How would society look if the numbers of people with Down Syndrome took an even more drastic decline?

I think this would be wonderful. However I am concerned that, just like the controversy that surrounded the introduction of cochlear implants for deaf people, we'll have people who are concerned about the loss of the Down Syndrome "culture."

Down Syndrome is a condition that subjects 90 percent of unborn children diagnosed with it to abortion.

NO NO NO.

It’s their mothers and fathers that DO THAT.

The propaganda is everywhere...

At first I'm thinking, Wow, that's great. But they say Down's is the "happy gene". Now kids with Down's can be drugged in the womb, then made to be as unhappy or the same as the rest of us. Woohoo./s

I'm thinking, just don't be drugging babies or messing with babies in utero...uhmmmK?

The article sounds like a fuding request. Turning the one gene off in a fetus would be as difficult as turning it off in a young child or an adult. Getting to every cell would be an impossible feet.
