Some countries use screening during pregnancy to identify the likelihood of having a child with Downs Syndrome. Iceland has almost zero babies being born with Downs Syndrome, as parents are actively encouraged to terminate their pregnancy if screening shows a high probability of the child being born with this condition.

Watch this video, and then ask yourself if you agree with Icelands approach.

Diversity, not eugenics. Babies with disabilities have a right to life.
