There have been too many instances of suicides by these individuals. Parents and doctors trying to make the best decision for an infant is not the answer. Worse yet, it is almost always geared towards being a girl (easier/cheaper surgery, I think). How much better the world would be if people would accept that nature is not always perfect and sometimes it takes time to come up with the best answer. And, sometimes, the best solution is to literally do no harm.

Pooh, you said it best.
