    How do you feel about NIPT tests and ultrasounds?

    -edit-

    I’ll give a real answer in spite of your strawman.

    Of course not. I believe every single person’s value is innate to their being, not derived from their ability, shape or productivity. Everyone deserves respect (until their actions say otherwise) and equality.

    There is nothing about me that makes me better than someone who is neuro divergent or differently abled. However I’m also well aware of the severe physical and emotional challenges that things like severe autism or downs syndrome can cause for both the individual and their families, even when ignoring the additional challenges caused by discrimination from society at large.

    Perhaps a really shitty question you should ask yourself is if you could go back in time and choose to be born with downs syndrome, would you?

    If not then why? If not, isn’t it slightly hypocritical that you believe others, without their consent, should be?
