CBS wrote a glowing article about some Scandinavian country where they’ve nearly completely eliminated Down’s syndrome. Pretty fücking dark when you realize that what they’ve actually done is test every pregnant woman and urge them to abort if the baby has Down’s.
Iceland has almost eliminated Down syndrome by aborting virtually 100 percent of fetuses that test positive.

I'm a 100% Pro-Choice Libertarian.
And we call it
Pro-Choice for a reason. The Choice is the parent, ultimately the woman, when there is disagreement with the father. The key is, the
individual, the parent, the future, responsible party.
What
scares me is the government deciding, the mob of the people, the alleged
'greater good.' There are 2 things I side with the religious right on, and both are
real, not imaginary.
1) Eliminating unwanted genetic disposition. I don't think people realize that eliminating genetics from our pool may end up hurting us long-term, in ways we never considered.
2) Breeding stem cells for profit. This is really happening, little different from harvesting organs. I am still a registered organ donor, because it happens regardless of legality.
I fear governments getting involved with #1 and #2, and yes, both really do happen.
