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. http://tinyurl.com/3num5u (remember to take out any spaces yahoo puts in).

What is this Justice's intention? Is he trying to get

families to sue doctors because these babies are not diagnosed

prenatally? Is he kidding? What a sleazy character!!! I googled

him and he seems to be looking for ways to sue to make a quick buck.

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.
