I assumed the controversy in question was whether you would completely eradicate Down's Syndrome if you could, without bringing abortion into the question.

I know this same issue came up about dwarfism before, and certain types of hereditary blindness.

I'd be for it. I don't agree that it is a gift, and if there is a way to prevent it occurring I would take it, personally. I sure there are many people with Down's who are happy, healthy and lead fulfilling lives. Probably more so than me. But if I could choose, I would never want to start a child in life with limits or disability. Then again, I don't want any children so perhaps my heartlessness takes me out of the equation.
