Now that more and more countries are limiting free trade, I figured it would be a good time to hear everyones oppinion on free trade. Personally I'm in favor of it, but I'm interested in seeing what you think. It depends, both countries have to be...  [Read More]

Alright, so if that is true, then there should not be any sort of Autism support groups around? Either way, this seems just like another opinion, which is suspiciouly nonfactual, IMO. No there are a few legit ones out there, but ones like Cure Autis...  [Read More]

And that's pretty idiotic for a doctor to think like that. Patient-rights groups specific make fliers and information packets that doctors can hand out because they know that doctors don't know everything. If a doctor is asked and doesn't know, he A:...  [Read More]

So you are saying expectant parents should have no rights to decide for themselves what is done to there bodies? If there were reliable test, wouldn’t withholding that test be a violation of the Patient Bill of Rights? Yes I know about the Patien...  [Read More]

Anything can be used as a tool to promote genocide. Instread of legit tests, maybe people will resort to "sleeping on their left side" or "how often does it kick?" to figure things out. If we're going to have people committing gen...  [Read More]

I'm going to say then to make it fair and no discrimination takes place that all tests regarding infants before birth be discontinued, which would be an enormous setback in medical science, but I'm looking at it as being the only way to keep them fro...  [Read More]

They did, however in this case, depending on your view they are either doing it to their kids, or it is simply a consequence of killing of a part of their body. No, we're talking about killing a human being, the umbillical cord you could make that a...  [Read More]

The test is planned to be used to alow parrents the choice of having autist children or not. If that results in the eradication of autism, then that is the peoples choice, not the law's fault. To be blunt the attempt by the Nazis to eradicate Jewis...  [Read More]

Of course I wouldn't. For the record, I never actually meant to imply that people who have Autism shouldn't be born. I do think that the parents should have the ability to know if their child will be Autistic. I personally hope that they wouldn't ab...  [Read More]

True, but considering that more often that not, down syndrome babies are aborted, I would have to argue that for most people where these studies are done, "work" and "reward" are close enough across the board. And I'm saying the...  [Read More]

You have one version of autism yes. That makes you a good person to ask about people with similar levels of autism. It does not however, make you medically qualified in any manner. Nor does it make you qualified to speak about people with severe auti...  [Read More]

A source that you yourself have claimed on many occasions is a complete fraud and cannot be trusted to any degree. That's the definition of hypocrisy. That's why I used a conservative source first, and only the New York Times to show a liberal sourc...  [Read More]

Is there some sort of data supporting this? I doubt that every single doctor would be that cynical to state something along the lines as that. I'm not saying every single doctor, but a good majority of them. Apparently 80-90% of Down Syndrome babies...  [Read More]

Many of you may have read in a thread here and there that I was taking my cousins to the movies, ball game or such. Well the 13 year-old girl in the group is Autistic. That is the reason I’ve tried to avoided this thread. That said, she is very pop...  [Read More]

"Impairs normal functioning" and "manifested by distinguishing signs." Sorry, but autism in almost all forms falls under these specifications. So, in fact, I guess it is a disease. Then I guess any ache and pain falls under a dis...  [Read More]

You do realize that most people with extensive autism, ie: autism before it had shades of grey, are socially disadvantaged. Most of them can't function in society, some lack the ability to communicate, some can't even make eye contact. Sure, that's n...  [Read More]

Okay, this is completely irrelevant to the topic, FYI. We're talking about how many civilians are suffering right now, and you're actively denying that, to suit your own ideals. But hey, I suppose ignorance is bliss, eh? No, I'm questioning how many...  [Read More]
