I dont like phony people and they are never phony or pretentious.You hit the nail on the head.
When I hear people say that people with Down Syndrome are all so nice, I shake my head. Some of them are not very nice, and to state that every person with Down is nice is to insult them as human beings.
But I have never met a person with Down Syndrome who was a phony.

Isn’t Dawkins due for a stroke or something?

Some people just have pale skin, but this one has a death warmed over pallor. Reminds me of Arafat.

When I was pregnant I refused the test for Downs because I was not going to abort no matter what...When I was expecting our third, I was 34. New Jersey had put in a requirement for doctors to inform their 'older' mothers about the importance of amniocentsis. I asked my Doc what they would need to look for, besides Down's, since I wouldn't have aborted, no matter what. He said one thing that could be important to know would be if the baby had a neural tube syndrome. I asked if that could be seen on an ultrasound, and he said it could, so I refused the amnio, and had an ultrasound.
When we had our fourth, in MA, I don't remember my Doc suggesting an amnio at all, but I might have told him early on that I wouldn't be interested. ;o)

The Chinese DO put a different value on life that the West.
They DO think more of male babies and less female babies.
All the PC people in the world can't change those facts. They ARE as different from us (Europeans, the West, whatever) as Mother Theresa and Venus Williams.

God bless you. Because of the mixture of blood types, I had to undergo them.
No Down babies, although my son and daughter in law birthed one, then adopted another.

I certainly hope Dawkins in his later years gets some debilitating illness or disease that makes his life “they are not rational and self-conscious beings. “ ...
So it would morally ok to kill him....
I am sure he would agree.../S

With the growing power of the latest version of the National/Socialists (the Democrats in America), they, and the News Media, have become ever more brazen in their advocacy. Hence, the stench grows stronger as Western Civilization approaches ever closer to the cesspool that is the balance of our World.
Thanks for the beep!
