Politics w/ Mr. D

Whew!  Generating these blogs usually takes a lot of time, and this time was NOOO exception...!!!

The possibility of detecting genetic disorders in utero leads to disturbing possibilities.  Already, 90% of parents who discover that their unborn child has Down's Syndrome choose abortion; what other undesirable traits in an unborn child will lead to his/her destruction?  Is our society soon going to welcome eugenics?  Read the article "Almost Abortion Consensus" from World magazine. After you've had a chance to digest it, check out the links found in the article and read AT LEAST two of them.  (Note that one is from a fundamentally different worldview.)  After you have thought about these matters, write a minimum 200-word response and post it.  It would be a good idea to grab a piece of paper and jot down some notes as you read the articles, or else print them up, then highlight and write notes on them as you read; later you can use your notes to help you write a thoughtful response. 

NOTE: this is a bigger-than-usual blog; it will count for more.  Last day to post is  TUESDAY MARCH 25th -- NO EXCEPTIONS.  You may post responses to others' comments for a better grade.
