Attempts to create a perfect society by destroying those who are less than perfect leaves all of us vulnerable – because we are not perfect. We need to pursue medical solutions to help those with unique challenges, not abort them based on eugenics. It is commonly understood that if, during prenatal testing, it is determined that the child has either a physical or mental handicap, then they are better off aborted.
