Hmmmmm

Usually a friend or family member brings an article such as this to my attention but perhaps this is the first time that I get to find it first!

Here’s an excerpt from the article linked below:

The Guardian newspaper said that the research, published in The British Journal of Psychology, could bring prenatal screening for autism closer to reality, potentially allowing women to terminate babies with the condition.

Baron-Cohen said this needed to be debated. “If there was a prenatal test for autism, would this be desirable? What would we lose if children with autistic spectrum disorder were eliminated from the population?” he said.

The question can be asked one of two ways–“What positive things would we lose” or something else which makes me shudder. And again, I’m way too hormonal at the moment to give a non-emotional response, so give me a few days or so and I’ll come back with some thoughts (or just e-mail me). 🙂

Here’s a link to the full story:
