There are about a dozen replies posted now but I still did not see one

that I thought was from anyone here. I did like these two.

A callousness about the value of human life permeates Marrin's

viewpoint, because if abortion ends up as eugenics, then whether any

foetus comes to birth depends upon the preferences of the woman. How can

anyone determine the worth and quality of another's life before it is

even lived?

Let me get this straight: you think babies with Down Syndrome should be

aborted because they might not have a great sex life? Many people--with

all the correct bits and pieces--have unfortunate romantic and sexual

lives, Marilyn Monroe and Princess , for two.

This is my reply. It probably won't be posted.

The issue is one of life itself, not the quality of the life. Just like

the general population, some people with Down syndrome will have a great

quality of life and some will not. But that is by the judgment of fallen

human nature. Who are we to deem the value of another human being? The

way of the world is to be successful and happy at all cost. It's all

about image, power and prestige. Look out for number one. If you don't

who will? But the way of God is much different. His measurement of

greatness is much different than ours. His estimation of suffering is

much different than ours. It cost God much to pour out and reveal His

mercy, chiefly in the suffering and agonizing death of His Son. What

will it cost us to show the same? The question most expectant mothers

with a prenatal dx ask themselves is what will it cost me? What will I

have to sacrifice to bring this child into the world? Obviously from the

91% termination rate the answer of most is that the cost or possible

cost is too high. It's about the mother and " her " choice. She never once

considers the choice of the life inside of her or the giver of that life.
