It's amazing how lots of things, such as research on anything that remotely touches Human Intelligence is considered "Eugenics", bad, fascist. But killing the unborn is a-ok because they would "suffer", and the worst of all, they would be a burden on the parents who would not be able to continue their hedonistic lifestyles, they should be consuming stuff all the time, for the good of society! Now that is good and desirable. Sick world

>Sick world. Half of Europe will allow you legally to abort a potential child with Down Syndrome for ethical reasons. What if the child matures and their parents die and there is no relatives to take care of them? That's really dangerous. But hey, the so called "free" Americans will know better. Sure.

We have plenty of social structures to take care of them, and where there aren't we create them, but that is what should be done, and what we already do to orphans, sick people, etc. Why are people with DS different? >But hey, the so called "free" Americans will know better.

Following that "logic" we should euthanize every single human being because we don't know which bad things can happen to them. I mean who wants to suffer right? We can't allow for anyone to be a burden on anyone, it's not like we have any obligation for others. Everything you said could be applied to everyone. Including you and me.
