Dignity and humanity of people with Down’s syndrome

Following the proposal by the NHS for a new form of prenatal screening, Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), for women ‘at high risk' of having a child with Down's syndrome, Prayer Alert readers prayed for the General Synod to call for regulation on providers of this screening.

They added that people with this condition should be welcomed, celebrated and treated with dignity and respect.
