oh I forgot to mention she is only 20 – not many 20 year olds can achieve that!

Ana. What an uneducated and frankly offensive comment you have made. One can only assume you are a troll intent on provoking reaction, and for that reason I am not going to remark further. You are clearly a buffoon of the highest order. Good luck to you.

Ana, please feel free to come and meet my daughter and see the fulfilled, amazing, happy, independent life she leads. She lives in her own home, has a job and gives back to society so much in the fun and joy she brings to so many people. At night she can sleep with a good conscience of a day spent usefully unlike you who clearly have no heart or conscience.

You must be mistaken, we are talking about people with Down syndrome in this article.

Any individual who willingly, with knowledge and forethought, brings a child to life with a disability, particularly one that will deprive them of a full, autonomous, productive life, is a criminal. It is an act of criminal selfishness to create for yourself what amounts to little more than a pet, a pet that will outlast its progenitors and rely on society to provide increasingly difficult and expensive care. Every child has THE RIGHT to the best possible start, and we are morally and socially obligated to provide it. How shameful that anyone would embrace these painful, humiliating defects. We certainly should love and support those who exist, those who are already here, but to create more? Monstrous, truly.
