Abstract

In Report #2, Marc Lappe wrote the following about possible abortion of a fetus discovered to be mongoloid: “Indian ahimsa holds that if this child's birth brings no additional suffering into the world (as it would not if parents are warm and loving; mongoloid children can live happily and respond to human warmth), it must be allowed to pass.” These letters are in response.
