She wanted to know if the real reason families of those with Down syndrome were concerned about this "breakthrough prenatal testing" was because with fewer births would come less money for supports. Reading this article leads me to turn the tables. Isn't the real reason there is a race to get this "scientific breakthrough" on the market to boost the sales of companies producing the product?
