In a letter date 16/12/2018, this charity stated it ‘would not want to see a world without people with Down’s syndrome’.

The letter lists the ways in which it is working with agencies involved in ‘antenatal screening pathways across England and Wales’. One point this charity highlights is that:

‘Professionals need to develop their skills in providing non-directive counselling - to enable women to make personalised, informed decisions about what is right for them.’

The letter also stated that the Down’s Syndrome Association is ‘not active in the areas of i) human embryo research ii) assisted dying or iii) the provision of contraceptive services to women or girls.

A statement on this charity’s website reads:

‘At the Down’s Syndrome Association, we do not believe Down’s syndrome in itself should be a reason for termination, however, we realise that families must make their own choice.’
