- A) Not exactly a reputable source.
-
- b) lemme see, 40*2/3= 26.7 weeks. Hmm... seems a bit bigger that 21 to me.

- Your point? Do think think people unwilling and unable to care for a
- Down's baby should have one?
-
- Perhaps you know of some genetic testing that will uncover these
- serious genetic disorders at a younger fetal age, so that the
- abortion could be done earlier? I doubt it. Maybe people should
- abort earlier, before getting test results, if there is even a chance
- of deformity. Is this what you are saying?
