Actually, Down's is genetic, and it does show up before birth. Not as Down's but as a genetic defect. I've also seen alot of babies with Down's, and they look "Down'sy"-before it's "too late for infanticide."
Has anyone seen the new Benetton ads? A few years ago they did they ad with the guy who was just about to die of AIDS. Now they've got a 2 page color ad of a laughing child with Down's, and another of a child who looks like s/he might have CP, cradled in the arms of a woman.
