On another down note, I read an article that suggested that the reporting of the downs syndrome statistics was a bit misleading. While more babies with Downs are being born, it is likely this is mainly due to increasing numbers of people having children well into their 30's and 40's which of course raises the statistical likelihood of the baby being born with downs. My understanding is that the percentage of parents given a downs diagnosis who decide to terminate remains stubbornly, depressingly in the large majority.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comments on supervision, an important reminder of this and more inspiring than many a supervision course I have attended!<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad I caught the Liverpool post before it dissapeared, hope to see it resurrected soon, very funny!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-47237926268771836612008-12-30T15:30:00.000-05:002008-12-30T15:30:00.000-05:00Things that prove the world has gone mad, #3:http:...Things that prove the world has gone mad, #3:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1103209/Ambulancemen-arrested-ignoring-dying-disabled-man-wasnt-worth-saving.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1103209/Ambulancemen-arrested-ignoring-dying-disabled-man-wasnt-worth-saving.html</A><BR/><BR/>(I learned about this article via this discussion on the BBC Ouch Board: <A HREF="http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbouch/F2322273?thread=6190905" REL="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbouch/F2322273?thread=6190905</A>)<BR/><BR/>Sadly, this story from the UK simply serves to highlight the kind of issues you talk about in your posts entitled "<A HREF="http://davehingsburger.blogspot.com/2008/12/cold.html" REL="nofollow">Cold</A>" and "<A HREF="http://davehingsburger.blogspot.com/2008/12/life-lessons.html" REL="nofollow">Life Lessons</A>.
