I am appalled that a UNC-CH professor would make a statement about the moral obligation of a woman to have an abortion if she discoveres the fetus she is carrying has Down syndrome. Why does he feel it is his or anyone's right to play God and determine who is worthy of life and who is not? Throughout history, humans have made these horrible mistakes....skin color, a non-christian faith....now it's mental ability. Every life has a purpose. He was wrong to expound his opinion in front of impressionable students. He was wrong period.
