It is a shame that his father did not wear a condom, and his mother forget to keep her legs closed

@nedkelly We'd be without a lot of valuable contributions to the world if that had occurred.

@BlueMetalChick I doubt it

@TheWildEcho A lot of very significant contributions to the scientific community have come from Dawkins. This comment he made was in very poor taste, but he made it because of a written letter from a person who had severe chromosome problems and was lamenting having been born. Which is understandable but that doesn't mean you can speak for everyone with Down syndrome because one person felt that way.

@BlueMetalChick he made the same comment to an Irish mother expecting a downs baby!
