I watched a program the other night about a lady who had a son with Down's syndrome. She was looking at the effects that screening has on the Down's population, and whether termination will lead to their demise? Last year 100% of Polish women with a positive screening for Down's, terminated. With the screening process now able to find other genetic defects how long will it be before other conditions are seen as unfavourable, take for example asthma or big noses, and cause people to abort? What happens when it is one of us that will be seen as unfavourable and terminated? Where is genetics and society's priorities leading us, bearing in mind science has no morality, just answers?

I have to wonder how many of those Polish women were talked into terminating? I know in the US, many people are told they are having a Down's child, but opt to keep it. As we have learned over the years, Down's is not as crippling as it was once thought to be. They are productive people, and some own their own business. They may take a little longer to learn, but they do learn. And often they are some of the friendliest and happiest people. At least that has been my experience. 

And to say science has no morality I think is a stretch. The scientist are part of a society and that is where the morality comes from.

After seeing that, do you dare send in your DNA sample for someone to check it out and send you the results.  How long before DNA sample is taken from every child born to check for defects?

Same with scientific capabilities of the nuclear age.

What to do with the discoveries is up to us humans.

Genetics is science.

Society's priorities are ultimately human priorities---what will we accept?
