Spartans did it too long before that .... but it was after birth
“Eradicated Down Syndrome” - not exactly.
My country actively imports them....
So the story is that doctors are required by law to inform pregnant women that there are comprehensive screening tests available. About 85% of them get the test. Abortion is allowed up to 16 weeks but there is an exception if the fetus has a deformity which Downs Syndrome qualifies as. There are still 2-3 children a year born with Downs in Iceland.
Nazi Germany had a similar idea to solve the problem.
Hmmm sounds very hitler to me...
That's not eradication. the same number of kids are still getting it as before. They just aren't being born.
That's some nazi sht
Why stop there? Why not sterilize the mother and father and ensure the gene never gets passed on.
