This is great, millions of cases of disabilities will be ended.

A primitive version of Gattaca!

Nope, but it's a great way to ensure that people don't waste their lives and throw their marriage away caring for a child that can never excel.

i didn't say I was against it (in this specific case(also hasn't this been done for the past few years, testing the fetus while its inside still)) but then it can easily be used to selectivly kill the masses who are deemed 'unacceptable'

> implying aborting a clump of cells that doesn't care is equivalent to genocide.

No one is killing the disabled, so there is no slope to slip down. They are preventing a disabled person from becoming alive and sentient in the first place.

This 100%

How can some people be so fucking stupid. I'm all for pro life and shit but bringing a child into the world that's going to face unimaginable suffering (Both socially, mentally and physically). If you knowingly bring a disabled child into the world, you don't deserve to be a parent. Period.

I enjoyed that. See, everyone hates the fact that if I knew my child would be fucked I'd abort it. Not only because I couldn't take care of it, but because that's fucked up to let a child live like that. Everyone knows how many people make fun of special people. It's not a selfish thing to do, it's making a better life for everyone. Child included.

An adult making an informed decision as to what to do with her body. Nothing wrong with that.
