So there is a moral imperative to abort fetuses with Down's syndrome?

Wow, that is certainly difficult to explain.

Now abortion has become a moral imperative in some cases...



The article is literally about removing the extra chromosome and not aborting the fetuses...

But yes, I do actually think there is a moral imperative to abort fetuses with diseases that will extremely negatively impact the life of the person and of the people who will have to care for them.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't care for them if they happen to be born, not at all, but I don't really understand how it can be controversial otherwise.
