An article taken from [community profile] asperger on genetic screening for autism...

There's not much left for me to say.

Though I'm wondering at their "HIDDEN EPIDEMIC" graphic. Even if you believe that actual cases of autism are increasing, it's hard to call it a hidden epidemic when it seemingly gets more news coverage than torture, war, and cute little puppies who survive deadly fires.

What worries me is the combination of information with health insurance companies. What if your policy doesn't cover treatment of various disorders if you can test for them prenatally and choose to keep the child anyway.

That would be scary. Although the way the US is going, we have more risk of losing abortion than of forcing people into it.
