New York Times magazine article on Down syndrome

Here is a link to my post on the University Faculty for Life blog about a touching article in the New York Times Sunday magazine of July 31, 2011. The magazine article tells the story of Dr. Alberto Costa and his daughter Tyche (who has Down syndrome). After the birth of his daughter, Dr. Costa has devoted his medical research to Down syndrome and he has been developing some promising treatments. The article also notes that the development of noninvasive tests to allow a pregnant woman to determine whether her unborn baby has Down syndrome may "cure" Down syndrome by eliminating children with Down syndrome.
