When I was 37 years old and pregnant with my second child, I refused prenatal testing for Down Syndrome. I felt that if that baby were born with Down, I could handle it. My point is that this is a highly personal decision and what any one person or couple decides is personal, and not a guideline for everyone else.

By the way, that baby was born without Down Syndrome. But I am NOT beginning to suggest that someone else in similar circumstances should make the same choice.
