I am often slow in catching up to the times, but even so, I still cannot even grip this idea: With nothing more than pitocin in your IV drip, you can sooner control the date and time of the birth of a human being-- the gushing entry into the great blue world of a whole new person-- than you can the scheduling of a few line cooks in your operation.

A baby’s individual potential, whether they’re later diagnosed with a condition like PKU or a chromosomal change like Down syndrome, is impossible for anyone to predict from prenatal genetic testing alone. Each baby’s life journey will be unique. A combination of body, mind and spirit. Of the interactions between genes, environment and love.
