Downs Syndrome Has Been Eliminated in Iceland. But was it Ethical?

"Women are born with two million eggs, some of which are flushed out of the body each month if none were fertilized. Women's bodies sometimes miscarry, in effect a natural abortion. Who is to blame there? The woman? God? Does God sometimes perform abortions? Are violent storms the work of God, but not miscarriages?

So, it should be clear that it is nonsense that women are morally obligated to turn every potential human their body could create into an actual human. It isn't necessary or a good idea for every possible person to be born, for some pretty obvious common sense reasons."

Asking the above questions, and then jumping to the following conclusions seems a bit hasty. You make some pretty huge theological generalizations about religion and God in general. Perhaps spend some more time studying the various religions.
