This point actually bothers me a fair bit - and not just with regards to 
trisomy. Its usually obstetricians who request genetic testing during 
pregnancy, and its they who give the results and encouragement one way or 
the other. But how often would they see ANY of their patients after they are 
born? Unless of course the mother has another child and uses the same 
doctor......

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
