The more western equivalent of this is screening for Down's Syndrome.

In certain countries, essentially all Down's babies are aborted. (98% in Denmark, for example)

I don’t know if you have relatives or children with Down’s, but it is no walk in the park.

Forcing parents to have disabled kids is not good policy either.

>all Down's babies are aborted. (98% in Denmark

98% of all babies with Down's syndrome, or 98% of all babies diagnosed with it? How popular is the test in Denmark?

The test is required by the govt.
