Iceland has nearly achieved a shocking goal – the country has eliminated almost 100 percent of children with Down syndrome.They’ve aborted almost all of them.
CBS News reports it’s due to widespread use of prenatal screening. Even though most people born with Down syndrome live long, healthy lives, most pregnant women in Iceland choose to abort these babies. Only one or two babies with the disorder slip past the screening process each year. Other countries are doing the same thing.
Denmark has aborted 98 percent and the U.S. has aborted at least 67 percent of babies with this genetic disorder.
