Thank you for the correction; if I’m wrong, I always want to know! I prefer truth over fondly held wrong opinions.
I knew that ;-).
Science has advanced, and there are non-invasive tests for some conditions that can provide useful information. For people who are not going to kill their child, no matter what his condition, the possibility of the test results’ being erroneous can be taken into account in a reasonable way.
One of my friends who has a child with Down’s says that, although it was emotionally difficult knowing in advance her child would be handicapped, the information helped them to prepare their home and their other children for their daughter’s unique needs.
