Dawkins sparks outrage for saying Down Syndrome babies should be aborted
http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/s-syndro...story.html

Quote:CONTROVERSIAL scientist Richard Dawkins has sparked anger once again - this time by claiming foetuses with Down's syndrome should be aborted.

The outspoken athiest author said parents should abort unborn babies with the condition and "try again".



I love how all the religious jump to say he's a horrific man with no morals but I 100% guarantee that ANYONE who is told they have a down syndrome foetus on the way would absolutely consider abortion.

Sure it's not the nicest thing in the world to say, but let's be real, who really wants a down syndrome child? Some people may accept it and live with the child however it is born but given the opportunity I think most of us would choose to have a healthy child with no defects. That's not immoral.

Also, wtf is this article getting at? "Controversial scientist". What's he controversial for? Really?
