i personally think it is wrong to abort a child just because they may have learning difficulties especially if you actually tried to get pregnant. what is evolving from this is designer babies where people can choose there babies intelligence, personality and looks. this is definetly bad behaviour molding a child before there even born to live up to your own expectations, what if it goes wrong will you scrap it and start again? what wrong with the old fashion way of having babies just making sure your boyfriend has all the qualities you want your child to have. obviously this wont avoid a child having learning difficulties but by changing the babies genetics your changing their identity what would make you happier having a happy child who's happy in their own skin or a child that will match your handbag?
