I heavily expressed my opinion in that posting.
Now we see it again in this Toronto article, and it is just repulsive that we treat human life this way.
"A growing demand for "perfect children" is leading to the
elimination of unborn babies with health problems. The Globe and Mail newspaper
reported Oct. 28 that the number of children born with cystic fibrosis has
fallen sharply in recent years."
"According to research published in the Journal of Pediatrics,
currently 1 in 3,608 babies born in Canada suffer from cystic fibrosis, compared
with 1 in 2,714 before a genetic test for this disease existed. "Our
hypothesis," Mary Corey, a senior scientist at the Hospital for Sick Children in
Toronto, told the Globe and Mail, "is that pregnancies are being terminated."
How incredibly sad. I fear what we will "screen for" in the upcoming decades. What's next? Abort your baby if the test shows the wrong color hair? Or that they'll have acne? Or just because he/she is not the gender you were hoping for?
It truly makes me feel ill.
