For Down syndrome, the wheels of genetic testing are turning ever faster. They should not outpace the ethical and moral debates, writes Angela Blakston.

That sums up exactly how I feel about things.

I have been so grateful for the loving respect that Georgia has been treated with in the couple of times that she has been hospitalised. She had a procedure last week, and I tearfully asked the surgeon to take care of my baby. He is such a lovely man, and he stroked her head as though she was every bit the most precious baby he had ever seen, and promised me he would. I felt so touched, but then wondered why I did, as though I thought that some would not think she was worthy of taking the greatest of care of.

That was a great article! And exactly what I tell ppl all the time. You can test for Down Syndrome but you can't test a baby's worth!
