Here is a link to a good article by Alexandra DeSanctis on the recent CBS report that Iceland is leading the world in “eradicating Down syndrome births.” Here is the concluding paragraph from the article:
“The title of the CBS piece asks, “What kind of society do you want to live in?” The article’s implicit response seems to be, “One dedicated to eliminating abnormality and suffering by any means necessary.” But no admirable society eradicates suffering by eradicating those who suffer. To achieve true moral progress, we must reject the killing of the vulnerable and condemn any backwards society that promotes such a regime as a solution.”
