I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

Iceland is about to eradicate Down syndrome. How? Using prenatal testing and abortion.

This is what I call a really sick,vile society.

I do have to add this (though not agreeing with Iceland on this point) is that their Viking ancestors didn't take kindly to their handicapped offspring. They saw them as being unable to make something of their life and would leave them out in the elements to die. They saw it as a kindness. Perhaps this the modern day version. However, we are no longer a tribalism society. There are medical advancements and opportunities not available to that primitive culture.
