I think education is a vital thing. I consciously chose not to do any testing during my pregnancy with Ruth. I am so glad that I didn't. I got to enjoy a healthy pregnancy without the added stress of her diagnosis. That was one small piece of joy in such a hard situation. If I had known her condition, I wouldn't have done things differently. That is just me. I think each person should decide for themselves.
