Down's Syndrome testing

A few weeks ago, the Washington Post ran an article, "Down's Syndrome Now Detectable in First Trimester:  Earlier Diagnosis Allows More Time for Decisions." The "decision[]" discussed, of course, is the decision to abort the unborn child diagnosed with Down's Syndrome.  Commenting on the article, Kathryn Lopez had this to say:  "If we shrug off a majority of Down kids being aborted now, how far off can deeper cultural inoculation to the impossible quest for reproductive perfection be? It's a spine-chilling road we're walking on."  (There's more.  Check it out).
