> I encourage anyone viewing this as a positive development of society to meet someone in person with down syndrome in person and ask themselves if that person would be better off killed.

I have a daughter with Down's (I've posted a couple times in this thread already), but I still view this as a positive development.

I love my daughter dearly, and would die for her if need be - and I don't see any contradiction with this; I don't want my daughter to have Down's and the additional possibility of health issues that goes with it, or of course the inevitable societal issues. Her life is going to be a lot harder than that of a typical person, and of course it has been and will continue to be tough on her parents.

But this isn't about parents killing their existing children, it's about allowing future parents to make a choice whether to bring someone with possibly very severe disabilities into the world.
