No matter what church you ascribe to, or even if it's none at all, you get what you get. Finding blame is just step two or maybe three on a journey of infinite steps, something the Levys clearly haven't realised just yet. I hope they are always at peace with their decision, but it would not be one that I could make. Moreover, I cannot understand the term 'wrongful birth', but I acknowledge that it exists for others. Knowing a lot of wonderful individuals who have enriched my life because of their presence, and unquestionably because of their Down syndrome conditions, I can unequivocably say that 'wrongful birth' in the case of Downs is a shameful term. Wonderful, wonderful people, who have made me realise how much room for improvement there is in my own 'perfectly normal' life. We all want someone to blame, but life isn’t designed that way.
