RE: Dawkins sparks outrage for saying Down Syndrome babies should be aborted

I agree with Aractus to an extent that we should include people with Down Syndrome in society and that they CAN be productive members, some may have above average intellectual skills (for their condition), others will have jobs, Down Syndrome is probably the less bad deficiency you can have from birth. These people can now live to 50 or 60. It doesn't mean they have the skills of 'normal' people, but it's not a nightmare like others paint it.
I think however that certain conditions such as Patau syndrome should require abortion as a moral obligation, given the short lifespan, it's unnecessary suffering

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
