Should all Downs Syndrome babies be aborted?


Recommended Posts

Unless the original questions in relating to mandatory terminations, which i very much doubt.

 

This test gives women the details they need to make an informed decision on continuing a pregnancy or not.

 

Individual women should have the final say on what happens to their bodies.

 

How does having a downs syndrome baby in any way alter what would happen to the woman's body during pregnancy? In which case it's a decision based on the outcome of the pregnancy not on the matter of having or not having a child per se.

 

I also think the father should have a right to contribute to the decision, but that's a whole other debate.

It doesn't

 

It was a general position that a woman should be in control. So if she has the test and it's positive for DS she can choose to terminate or not.
