Y...I really appreciate you weighing in and writing. You have a great way with words. The foundation I keep leaning towards on all this is respect. And you really exhibited respect here. We have not been able to garner true respect for individuals with disabilities yet and so I too question the motives especially when they are not delivered respectfully. Thanks again for reminding me to keep my focus on respect.

And as crazy as it sounds, I get it. It scares me...and isn't an option for our family but I really do understand wanting your child to not have to deal with some of the things that go along with Ds. I just worry that you always have to pay the piper in some way...and Down syndrome isn't as big of a deal to us right now. Definitely not big enough that I would risk changing who my daughter is supposed to be, who she was made by God. But that's me. And I don't judge any one who would choose differently. I totally agree that I hope it doesn't end up being as drastic as it seems now....but I think that the debates are just heating up and will probably get worse as it gets closer to time that they can test on humans.....Heidi Ehlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361803948338350526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452647027994558679.post-73123907043084698122013-08-08T00:00:00.685-04:002013-08-08T00:00:00.685-04:00Awww thanks Summer!

Messing with anyone's genetic makeup ...I agree! Messing with anyone's genetic makeup is quite a hefty proposition -- I think this idea is a moot point for anyone with kids already born. I actually don't know who WOULD agree to such a thing. I think the existence of such technology/medicine puts such a heavy burden on parents-to-be, who are already in a fragile state as it is.<br /><br />I'll be curious to see how this develops as they learn more. Hopefully it will never be as drastic and science-fiction fantastical as it sounds now.vicspedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995798736596745365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452647027994558679.post-20112761236359242862013-08-07T06:29:29.630-04:002013-08-07T06:29:29.630-04:00Well done as always Mama, well done!Well done as always Mama, well done!Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130845747172743379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452647027994558679.post-6302515589356834072013-08-07T04:49:11.481-04:002013-08-07T04:49:11.481-04:00I loved how you wrote this as well.

I pretty much agree with you in all ways, so maybe that adds to my appreciation of this post. ;) <br /><br />This idea of removing struggle has been on my mind as well. It is of course natural to want to remove struggle, but struggle shapes us and makes us stronger as well, right? You're not selfish though, I absolutely hate some of the comments I've seen suggesting things like that. <br /><br />Thanks again, loved your post. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452647027994558679.post-3243869568439461702013-08-06T23:51:03.280-04:002013-08-06T23:51:03.280-04:00I absolutely loved the way this was written.
