Vomit.

No, not actual vomit. Mental vomit. I heard through the grapevine that they made a new test to determine if your baby has Down Syndrome. Earlier detection of DS during pregnancy - now even as early as the 11th week! With just a simple blood test.

A little nasty tidbit...
"It also can identify Down syndrome in the 11th week of pregnancy, early enough for a woman to end her pregnancy if she chooses", Patsalis said.

See? BARF.

But then there is this...
Skotko said, "The overwhelming majority of family members say they can't imagine their life without their family member with Down syndrome."
