creating the Prnatal & Postnatal Diagnosed Condition awareness Act will give expectant parents important information about available supports when they need it. I have known several people with Down Syndrome, both children & adults, and they are an incredible source of joy! I can't imagine my life without them.

My brother was born with down syndrome and was adopted by a loving family. I think about him every day. If the act would have been around in the late 80's I may have had the chance to grow up with my birth brother. Please Canada create an Act for Prenatal Diagnosed Conditions, not only for parents but for families and the public.

I refuse to have a test to detect DS when I was pregnant because I knew I would love my baby anyway. I had a very happy and healthy pregnancy without any worries. When my baby girl was born with DS 4 years ago, I went through the hard time everyone had facing this challenge. But I still think it could be worse to know it before without having her in front of my. I may be better prepared to offer her all the help she needed, but I have already prepared my heart to love her unconditionaly!

As a Mom, I rely on my doctor for the health of my family, meaning prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness. This is a doctor's specialty, where they are expected to have the training and information required to do their job.

As a Mom of a child with Down Syndrome, I have first-hand, day to day knowledge of my child and her abilities, gifts and needs. Most doctors don't have this expertise, because they don't live with Down Syndrome.

Respectfully, Drs aren't experts in this field

My son is autisic and even If I had known, I would not have changed a thing. Parents need a balanced amount of information to make an informed choice in any pregnancy where a child may have issues outside the "norm".

Every child with a disability teaches their families and society how to accept differences and the joy of unconditional love:)

Providing the information early allows parents to prepare for the needs of their child sooner. Early intervention is proven to be the most successful tool a child can have when they are born with an extra need.

We knew about the range of potential for a person with Down Syndrome. The genetic counselor did not have any resource material to give us to support us and seemed to think that we didn't get it when we said we were keeping the baby. Had we not been familiar with DS we would have left the meeting frightened.We sought out the local Down's group ourselves. After the decision was understood by the staff, fetal assessment and neonatal staff were supportive.

My daughter born born June 29th 2008. She was diagnosed with down syndrome after birth.
I had the triple screening done, The results were positive for Down syndrome. We chose not to do the amino as abortion was not an option.
I think parents getting results like this should have all the info they need. None was giving to me at the time of the triple screening. I put everything at the back of my mind until the day she was born.. She's so beautiful and wouldn't change her for the whole world!

This form of eugenics should be illegal.

I have a son with Down Syndrome and I would do it again a thousand times over. A Second, third or 50th baby with down syndrome would make me as equally proud! What a wonder and pleasure he is in my life.

what w disgrace and pity that someone would choose not to have a child with down syndrome! A blessing they are. We are concidering adopting a child with DS right now as well.

Women with poor prenatal diagnosis deserve and need counseling that will expose them to the joys as well as challenges possible to them. Put them in touch with well respected disability support and advocacy groups, form perinatal hospice support groups, and offer honest unbiased information. Most of all, give them the respect of honoring their capacity for strength and fortitude in even the most difficult situation. Women are not as weak as you think!

Jonah, now 4 months, was born with Down Syndrome. I still remember rejecting the offer for this test for both my children, without questions. I was very surprised to be asked that since I had no idea this was going on. I look at Jonah everyday and think to myself...Why would anyone not want this little person. Yes, I was scared and went through all the emotions because I knew nothing. But it is really OK, they are here for a reason just like the rest of us.

The world needs diversity. Aborting a perceived to be "flawed" fetus is devalues every single human who has or may have in the future a long term illness or disability. This basically includes all of us. Who wants to live in a world like that. This is a very important fork in the road for humanity. In Canada, do we believe in human rights or not?
