More on prenatal tests
I'm moving Kathy's comment up here so everyone can read it:
I'm also one of those folks who had a prenatal diagnosis and chose to keep my son. I let it be known to reinforce the fact that these children are not discardable or avoidable mistakes.
Whenever I hear about prenatal screening for chromosomal abnormalitites, I can't help but wonder why they don't try to come up with tests to screen for rudeness, greed, thoughtlessness, propensities to start wars, cruelty and dishonesty. Those are the traits we need to eliminate from our society!
Amen to that! Or as I wrote somewhere else: wouldn't you rather have one of those different-looking kids who keep popping up as homecoming kings than the handsome, popular football player arrested for participating in a post-prom gang rape (as has happened in two towns I've lived in and others across the country)?
