Charles asks…
If an amniocentesis showed you were carrying a Downs Syndrom child, would your Spirituality allow an abortion?
If you were to be a Father or Mother, and an amniocentesis test showed the child would be born with Downs Syndrom, could you comfortably abort it according to your Religion?

No, Not Mine.
When my wife was pregnant for my first child the doctor said after analyzing a lab test (I forgot the name of the test) that our baby seems to had Downs Syndrom. He wanted to make an amniocentesis to confirm. We both say NO!
* Not willing to take any chances / risks.
* We saw no need for that test. In the worst case, if she had Downs Syndrom we would raise her, not killed her through an abortion. We felt very angry to his suggestion that we should think about it.

Months later when a it was time for a sonogram nothing in the facial images suggested Downs Syndrom. When she was born (15 years ago) she was normal, the lab test was just a false positive. My daughter has allways been an excellent student been graduated with the highest grade averages of her class. Allways got the highest honors in graduations, frequently the best score in any exam. And that doctor suggested we should kill her!
