Action Alert: Major misinformation on Down syndrome and mosaic Down syndrome

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

I was informed yesterday of an article with misinformation on Down syndrome.

Because I am just catching up from my power outage I didn't get the chance to

read it until today.

This article comes from a " wrongful birth attorney " who is not only giving

extremely inaccurate information, but also urging parents to call him so he can

sue doctors for the birth of their child!

I have included this article, along with my remarks (yeah... I couldn't keep

quiet on this one lol) in my blog.

Please read the article (I have included links with accurate information to

counteract the inaccurate) and PLEASE email, call or contact in some way this

attorney. He has to be informed and he has to be held accountable for his

inaccuracies. Imagine if someone was prenatally diagnosed and read what he has

wrote!

Here is the link to my article. Please pass it on as well.

Syndrome population?
