Iagree with tootsie. At the end of the day your child could be born with any number of illnesses or disabilities, and if you were told a few months after the birth that your child had CP or Autism, or Spina Bifta, you wouldnt say 'oh Idont want it now' so why should it be the same if your told this news whilst pregnant? Unfortunatly the tests are done so late in pregnancy by the time you find out you are high risk, and have an amnio to confirm, that unborn baby is very developed and aware of things around it, and for me to terminate it would be much the same as opting to kill a newborn. Many downs kids go on to have pretty normal and healthy lives, its not all doom and gloom, just as many healthy born kids go on to have all sorts of mental and physical disabilities and problems in life, Idont feel you should be able to pick and choose on what you bring into the world. If you are blessed enough to successfully become pregnant you should love what ever child you bring into the world.
