Я с вами совершенно согласна, душить детей надо в зародыше.
А все же - цитата из той подброки, ссылки на которую я дала -
About two weeks later I received a phone call that has changed me and my life forever. The genetic counselor called with our full amnio results. Our baby was not fine. It turned out she had a rare genetic disorder called Cri Du Chat. She told me that it was worse that Down syndrome and resulted in severe mental retardation. Also likely were heart and kidney defects. Our daughter would have an IQ of less than 20 and might never be able to communicate with us. The whole phone conversation was surreal. I know I screamed and cried through most of it. I kept thinking I was in a bad dream and if I blinked my eyes hard enough I would wake up.
I was now 23 weeks pregnant with no time to waste. If we decided to terminate this pregnancy, we had to do so in the next few days (our state allows for legal termination until the 24th week). The next day we spoke to the head of the genetic department at our local medical college. We decided to abort our much loved and wanted daughter. I was scheduled that day to begin the D-and-E procedure.
I have always been pro-choice and believe strongly in a woman's right to choose. I just never wanted to be that woman who had make that decision. It is a choice no one should ever have to make. I hope I did the best thing for my sweet baby. I did the best I could.
