Dawkins sparks outrage for saying Down Syndrome babies should be aborted

[Aractus]

I think your emotions are getting in the way of you thinking clearly on this matter. A law requiring the abortion of all fetuses shown to have Down's Syndrome would amount to Social Darwinism; individual decisions made by pregnant women do not.

The other point I should make is that you had to draw extremes. I drew real-world examples, eg. woemn aborting mixed-race foetus's. That is something that happens. You drew imaginary hypotheticals - what's better for society: no disabled people, or, 100% with down's syndrome. That's taking extremes. What I was advocating for was contending with the real-world situation, what you suggested is that down's syndrome (and by extension all mental disability) is preventable at the stage of pregnancy - or that it could be - or that it is preferred to be. That's an extreme view that's no different to the laissez-faire one, in that it perpetuates the view of a two-tiered society.
