So had a discussion with my girlfriend and we were talking about children and what we'd do if our child is born with down syndrome. I kept suggesting aborting or giving it up for adoption if we knew they'd be retarded. She kept bitching that it's morally wrong since it's still a human life.
They won't
> get a job
>married
>won't have children
>have friends
I'm totally fine with aborting since it's a failed life.
What would you folks do?

They're less smart than gorillas. How are they human beings?
Is it possible to detect autism when its a fetus? How would you know your kid has it?

They're a waste of air and money and are not worth anyone's time. Best not to let them suffer and abort them. If only she would understand.

You can detect it when they're still a fetus. 92 percent of women abort when they find out

and rightly so.
to answer OP´s question: yes i would suggest abortion. i have said this to my girlfriend and other people many times: i do not want a crippled/retarded/mutant child.

ditch that dumb sloth

And you're still with her?
it's possible through early intervention for them to end up with IQs above the clinical definition of retardation.
But what kind of job will they get in this era of robots taking over manual labor jobs?
They also develop dementia in their 50s and 60s and die almost 100% of the time. And at that age, their parents are elderly or dead leaving them to be scared, retarded, and totally at the mercy of nursing care.
The secret truth behind Downs is that it is a particularly painful and horrifying death sentence.

Abort the fucker. Any woman that wouldn't is not girlfriend material.
Frankly it's cruel to bring such a baby into the world. If it has a detectable major defect and you don't deal with it properly you're a horrible person.
Ask your wife if she wants to care for it forever.
When you're in your 60s, and it's an incompetent adult.
When you're well into retirement and it still isn't self sufficient.
Oh, and I disagree with those who are saying leave her outright. She's just being emotional, like most women. At least she's not a total child-hating degenerate like a lot of women these days who've lost all their maternal instinct.
If she remains stubborn on it even when considering the future, maybe. On the other hand, your chances of the child actually having problems are pretty low so long as she's not into her 30s.

Judging from the downie porn posted on /b/, what they will be is molested and taken advantage of quite often.

Parents with down syndrome kids who actually care for their kids never retire. They take care of that kid into their 80s.

Abort.
