So a little while ago my teacher was telling our class the story of him and his wife who were never able to have kids. They adopted a few kids and soon after they were able to have a kid on their own. But the kid turned out to have Down's Syndrome. He mentioned that with the new sciences and technology that its getting easier to detect this condition because its also becoming more common in babies born today. What do you think?

I wouldn't keep a decent child, never mind one with DS. I'd definitely abort.

My first instinct was "what the fuck of course id fucking keep it."
But you then you think....
I dont want to put somebody through all the torment and hatred if i could stop it.
But its a life!
But what if they were in extreme pain and extremely depressed, and i was my fault?
But what if they werent...

For that exact reason, I wouldn't want to know if it had it or not.

I'd keep it...
they're people just like you are and if God chose you to have a child like that...
it only means that you're strong enough to handle the challenges.

More often than not, they're actually wrong.  I wouldn't abort.  If anything, I would take this knowledge and use it to prepare myself as best as possible for when the baby comes by researching everything I can on it and talking to doctor's and other parents who have gone through this to gain some insight on the situation.
