From Dietrich Bonhoeffer, by way of Lance Nixon’s piece on Down Syndrome and human worth in last month’s Touchstone Magazine:
“The exclusion of the weak and insignificant, the seemingly useless people, from a Christian community may actually mean the exclusion of Christ; in the poor brother Christ is knocking at the door.”
Nixon notes a 1999 study in the medical journal Prenatal Diagnosis which found that 90 percent of babies who are determined in utero to have Down Syndrome are subsequently aborted.
