This paper examines and describes the perspective of persons with disabilities regarding the policy implications of prenatal screening. The most troubling, and controversial, aspect is when screening results in selective abortion. Persons with disabilities have a unique perspective on both sides of the public argument over abortion. The most common reasons given for selective abortions because of disability are based on assumptions that have, mostly, not been affirmed or refuted through research. The impact of the availability of prenatal testing on public attitudes about disability and practices towards disabled persons should be explored. Additional input from disabled people is needed.
本文审视并描述了残疾人对于产前筛查政策影响的观点。最令人困扰且具争议性的方面是筛查导致选择性堕胎。在关于堕胎的公共争论中，残疾人在正反两方都有独特的观点。因残疾而进行选择性堕胎的最常见理由基于一些大多未经研究证实或证伪的假设。应当探究产前检测的可获得性对公众关于残疾的态度以及对残疾人的行为的影响。还需要残疾人提供更多的意见。
