This is what frustrates me as well. I know two people who were told that their children will have down syndrome with almost complete certainty, and their kids ended up completely fine, at least in this regard. We're on our third child and the screening and push to make a decision is at every appointment. On our first pregnancy, after the first ultrasound the doctor told us there was a "roughly 10%" chance she had down syndrome and asked us what we wanted to do. As if I'm going to kill my kid over a slim chance at disability determined by a grainy picture from a 10+ year old ultrasound machine operated by someone just trying to make it to their lunch break. I can't help but wonder how many parents terminate perfectly healthy children. |
