My views on this subject are really different for one i was raised with a Tia who had Downsyndrome and I was the frist baby she ever held (ignorance from my other tias by marriage) To her i was her baby and we even shared a birthday both born on May 2nd.
Ever since my first pregnancy i have been well aware that i can have a downsyndrome baby and honestly i think that your never prepared but if you have the mind set that they are as normal as any other baby or child out there then i dont see a problem. Infact I went to school (yes highschool) and Confu is my witness with Downsyndrome children Dante is one of the few schools that caters to them and treats them like normal children! I loved it and i was a peer tutor to them as well. So to be honest i would love that child and just live with the daily challenges!
Also i have done the amniosentises and I was the 1 in 200 i did go into labour but then again I have to be on bedrest after 6mths because of some reason and The amino was too much for my body and baby to handel and i did give birth but my baby was too premature and did not live.
So if you dont need it dont have it done!! and now with so many blood test they do they can tell you if a certain hormone is too high then you are at risk and then only then if your not ready to care for a baby with special needs should you get it done just to confirm!

yes it all comes together, once you have another life to take care of, I used think so differently before I was a mother, but now everything is different

well to really answer this question, I am a mother and I thank God my kid was born healthy, but to answer your question If I would be on that situation, I WOULD HAVE MY SON/DAUGHTER as how God is sending it to me we never know por que las cosas pasan pero enfermos o sanos as a parent I think that It should it matter if they have a disease or not I mean is your kid and we have them inside of us since you know that you are pregnat they are part of you, of course I think it would probably be hard on the parent or the kid, but para eso we become parents and need to deal with that, I wouldn't kill my baby no matter what the doctor would tell me, I would have to be on the situation but I think I would keep it.

if memory serves me correctly, the amino test doesn't take place until well into your pregnancy. It's at a point where abortion is no longer an option, I believe. I actually was scared to take the test.... in fact, I NEVER did it, with either one of my pregnancies. I believe the risk was 1 in 200 end in death to the fetus so I didn't want to take any chances.
Now, as for bringing in a child to the world with disabilities, its a HUGE responsibility and undertaking but I think the love for your child is so overwhelming that you can overcome that but who knows. I agree with you, tho, I wouldn't want to bring a child into the world that would only suffer.
Say you are expecting a child (men, you're to be a proud papa) And you the mom, has just had the amniocenteses done. Results tell you that your child will have down syndrome.
What would you do?
----- As for me, i don't know what i'd do. Honestly, i would not want to bring the child in the that condition to a world that has no mercy. Sure, the child may not understand because he/she is incapable, but as the parent I know i would suffer for the lack of love the world would have towards my child.
Then i could not even consider the idea of aborting. But it could cross my mind? would i be heartless if i even think about it? what if i went through with it?
I don't know.
