Dawkins sparks outrage for saying Down Syndrome babies should be aborted

[c172]

Not you in particular. I meant some AB's in general. And indeed, a fetus isn't a person. But I can't automatically take issue with parents who find they are OK with raising a disabled kid. If the would-be parents do their research and know it will be difficult in certain ways, and take advantage of community resources, then fine. But if that balll of wax is too much, then fine, too. Abort.

ETA: I did go back and read this. "It would be immoral to bring it into the world if you have the choice." No. Not in all cases. It was not immoral for my parents to bring me into this world. I have a viable QOL. I get along with my extended family overall quite well. I travel here and there. I follow soccer and other olympic sports, including attending events. I have an interest in politics as it relates to atheism and infrastructural issues, attending my local district councilmeeting most every month.

My life is different from yours (all of yours), and yours is different from mine. But mine is just as valid, thanks to family and community.
