I don't want to offend, or be flamed, but I am curious.
I've seen several threads where posters have terminated a pregnancy when they have found out their baby has Down Syndrome, and then gone on to ttc a "normal" baby.
Now, I don't personally know any one with DS or any parents of children with DS, so I genuinely don't know the difficulties they face. Is life with downs syndrome really so bad? Or is it the thought of a child growing into an adult with SN and having no one to care for them when the parents are no longer capable?
Out of all the things I worried about when pregnant, downs syndrome wasn't one of them.

Ignorant quetion, and not sure how to put this tactfully, but why do people not want to have a baby with DS?
