Uh, no it's not? Downs Syndrome is at least something people can function with, but "risk of disorder in your child when you get pregnant later in life" is a perfectly valid warning. It's not about having the perfect child, but some disorders lead to a very painful, short life, and the risk of that is important. If you're any kind of parent at all, you should consider it.

I totally agree with everything you're saying, I am not trying to deny scientific fact. It is something to take into consideration.

But the general tone reflected to me by the original comment (and apparently others) that allowing oneself to have a child with Down's is somehow irresponsible denigrates the personhood of the child and suggests that such a child would be a workload, not a family member.

Oh, I see. No worries then--I must have misinterpreted your comment. :)
