They love their kids and in general, the kids seem happy. Each of these parents struggle with the future for these children after they are gone/unable to care for these kids.
Given a choice, I would not want to live a life with Downs. There are several chronic medical conditions that I would not choose to struggle with. Quad-para is one.
If I had a downs pregnancy, I would abort. I would consider that as in the best interest of the child.
What if they where two years old? Might as well see how bad it is?
Two years old is irrelevant for the topic. This is about a woman making a choice and whether or not the state should be interfering with that based on subjective conditions.
