What If We Could 'Cure' Down Syndrome?
from Michael Scott - Thinking Out Loud (Podcast) · host Michael S. Lipkin
I have a 17 year old son with Down syndrome whom I adore. I discuss his birth, development, education and more. I then get into some philosophical issues regarding the growing trend to abort fetuses when Down syndrome is detected and a discussion of a hypothetical future where it would be possible to “cure” Down syndrome.My blog post about Yisrael’s birthhttps://www.lipkinfamily.com/blog/adventure.htmYisrael’s Bar Mitzvah highlight videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnzK5WLUUIMWorld Down Syndrome Day videohttps://youtube.com/watch?v=Biex1XR_mpoMy Substack article “When Nurturing Goes Haywire - Raising A Child With Special Needs”https://mslipkin.substack.com/p/when-nurturing-goes-haywire-raisingInstagram video by a woman with Down syndrome discussing some of these issueshttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DEuxWlgRjZo/?igsh=OXM3aTRpd3ZlcTFx Get full access to Michael Scott - Thinking Out Loud at mslipkin.substack.com/subscribe
