Pope Francis’ envoy to the United Nations highlighted the positive contribution of persons with Down syndrome to their families and society and lambasted the eugenics mentality of countries who use abortion to “eliminate” persons with Down syndrome. He said this at an event to mark World Down Syndrome Day.
“In some countries nearly 100% of parents who receive a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome are choosing to end the life of their son and daughter,” said Archbishop Gabriele Caccia, Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations in opening remarks at the event organized jointly with C-Fam.
Archbishop Caccia blamed this on a mindset that “reduces human value to productivity” and despises those who need assistance from their families and society.
