This is extremely disturbing.

In what way?

lots of different ways, the loss of a child the potential loss of two children, the powerlessness and despair the parents would have been feeling... turning to AI which might have a positive outcome but many of us are not very trusting of the tool.

Its a sad story. I wish them well, I hope this is one of those scenarios that AI works exactly as desired.

It reads like a specific genome would lead to deterministic outcomes. It does not. Life is messy.

Most Down Syndrome people have happy lives, some can even live alone and have an independent daily live.

Life expectancy is up to 60 years.

Yet in Iceland „Democratization“ of genetic diagnosis lead to basically 0% Down Syndrome kids (births).

Where does this stop? What with someone of a genetic indication of aggressive cancer- life expectancy 55? Abort?

The same (detectable) genetic mutation leads to vastly different lives. This is correlation. Nobody sees the many undiagnosed broken genomes with no visible symptoms that would be aborted with more such businesses like this.

This is such a sad story. What would it feel like to have a child? I'll probably never experience it in my lifetime. I've never been through that, but when my sibling died of cancer, I couldn't do anything for nearly a year. I imagine it's a similar feeling. I wish you all the best in everything you do from now on.

Bravo. I feel like there's a kind of growth that only arrives through pain, but I wish nobody had to receive it that way.

Peering through the NICU window & wondering if my child would survive was one of the most traumatizing moments of my life. Rooting for your work.
