Hey guys,
I was thinking today about downs syndrome. And i thought about something.
Is it right for a couple who both have downs syndrome to have a child whilst knowing that the child will have downs syndrome?
Is it right to allow two people to bring a child into the world knowing that it will have a mental disability?
Is it right to allow the continuation and extension of the life of a recessive gene?
I personally think that people should not be able to have sex fully knowing that the child would have downs syndrome, it is wrong and i think that carrying on a recessive gene is in effect slowing us down. More money is required to look after people with downs syndrome and it is very time consuming, i am not saying we should get rid of people with downs syndrome by not taking care of them, but i think we should not embrace the recessive gene and let downs syndrome continue in such a way.
What are your thoughts?
