[tri-med] Re: Prenatal Diagnosis

It is such a different world today because testing is available. I 
didn't have any tests done when expecting my children (late 50's 
early 60's). Like you never gave it a thought that anything could 
possibly go wrong. My recollection is that not even blood tests were 
done. I just remember him listening with the stethoscope. I do think 
people are entitled to be educated and make informed decisions. In my 
day you were not offered information as the doctors were "Gods", and 
one wouldn't dream of questioning them.
