I didn't like the article. It cherry picks mild cases and appeals to sentiments to refute the "bleak statistics" ("the learning impairments and health problems, the strong possibility of heart surgery in the first few months of life, the reputedly high divorce rate of parents of a child with special needs"). It also makes it looks like a bad thing that we manage to detect and prevent 90% of the births.

Add to that the quote at the end about "every family should have a down syndrom kid" and all I can think is there"'s a strong case of misery loves company here.
