You better believe this county and world are in a moral crisis. God have mercy on us. I think LadyDoc might know. From what I've read, a lot depends on the cause of the retardation. NOT that having a child with Down's Syndrome, or any other kind of handicap, is a bad.
Handicapped children are a blessing, too.
It depends on why the parents are retarded. Birth problems where the baby is deprived of oxygen for more than a few minutes wouldn't affect their DNA at all. It says the mother has a level of a 6 year old which means she isn't completely incompetent and would probably be able to read at some level. Singer's insane comments are one of the reasons I posted like I did. Whether the child of a retarded child is retarded, depends on the cause.
