Exactly. It's a slippery slope from abortion in some cases to abortion of diseased babies to picking an embryo and aborting the rest. All of it is bad and it was only in the last few generations that any of these became acceptable in countries with ethical standards.
No, it's not. Birthing a baby with severe genetic defects that either ends up dying shortly after being born or becoming a helpless human suffering for all of its life is not something desirable.
It sounds like you haven't actually met anyone with Down's syndrome. I've never met one who seems depressed and thinks they're in constant suffering. If you're talking about other illnesses where they may die then let them die naturally. No point killing what may actually survive. There's a guy born with no limbs who is glad he wasn't aborted and is totally against your way of thinking: https://www.lifenews.com/2021/03/25/man-born-without-arms-or-legs-condemns-abortion-all-life-has-value/
I wrote genetic defects. Plural. Besides even Down Syndrome is a spectrum. You might be lucky and your child is a very high functioning Downie or they might be non-verbal, violent and have zero self control.

Right. Let them suffer. Scar the mother (and father) for life for birthing her child and watching it die a miserable death. Perhaps even keep it alive as long as possible like we do with terminally ill patients in hospitals against their will.
That's great. And I know of 40-year olds that are non-verbal and need to wear diapers because otherwise they'll just shit and piss on the floor.
Being born with a physical disability in a family that is able to support all your needs and give you a leg up in life, no pun intended, can compensate for severe physical disabilities. Severe mental disabilities cannot be compensated.
If you truly and honestly believe that there is no reason for abortions I urge you to adopt severely disabled orphans who can't live independently and care for them for their entire lives.
They’ve been screening for and aborting (or atleast pressuring the mother to) Down’s syndrome babies for like 30+ years now.
