It's amazing how hateful and full of venom some medical professionals can become when you say you value life and don't need to be "prepared" for any conditions your child might have. I agree with your post COMPLETELY and worry about the possibility of a government run healthcare system mandating prenatal testing in the future...Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716322067077321193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670602771827379586.post-5821543613462362182011-10-01T10:32:56.113-07:002011-10-01T10:32:56.113-07:00I am a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, and lov...I am a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, and love everything about my profession...except prenatal screening.

My husband and I were trying to get pregnant for six long years and then when I finally were pregnant with twins they advised I should get an amniocentesis. I decided not to have it done since there is always the risk of a miscarriage due to this test and because I already decided I'm keeping my babies no matter what. You made a very valid argument. You cannot possibly know what lies ahead being a parent.Chase Your Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970724972343788375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670602771827379586.post-29668802744776481842011-09-06T22:15:35.215-07:002011-09-06T22:15:35.215-07:00Very well said.

One second she was a "perfect" four year old - walking, talking, running, learning to write her name... And the next? she could not stop the drool from running out of the side of her mouth, no speech, could not walk, lost the use of her right side. The brain injury changed her completely, from a "perfect" child to a disabled one. If I had known while she was in the womb that her life would be altered in such a way at the age of four...would I still have chosen life for her? Absolutely.<br /><br />But maybe that's just me. And the rest of the 8% of us....who would also chose life for a baby with Down Syndrome. <br /><br />I agree that science goes too far sometimes.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670602771827379586.post-22728125828260806132011-08-25T13:34:10.398-07:002011-08-25T13:34:10.398-07:00Preach it, Jen.
