Screening out Downs Syndrome?

Postby Scally » Mon Jun 13, 2011 1:44 pm

60 minutes New Zealand debates prenatal screening for Downs Syndrome and talks to parents and a very impressive young man with DS. Here is a link to watch:

Loved the programme: (and dont worry about the name - its not the full 60 minutes, just the first 15 or so of programming)
"This is one of the hardest lessons for humans to learn. We cannot admit that things might be neither good nor evil, neither cruel nor kind, but simply callous - indifferent to all suffering, lacking all purpose." - Richard Dawkins

Thanks for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed that too. The young man certainly is impressive,an excellent advocate for himself,and others with Downs Syndrome.

Thanks for sharing :) My son is 14 months old, born with down syndrome and i dont mind having more like him, he has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives, his elder siblings are so protective over him, everyone adores him. I thank God everyday for his gift :P
