This woman is wealthy and successful. Her vision of Down's Syndrome is very biased by the fact that her son is really mildly affected by the disability. Down's Syndrome can manifest in so many different ways. Serious health problems, severe mental disabilities and very few ressources available for the children affected or the parents... This is the reality. I can't be sure of the intention of the filmmaker, but I felt very frustrated by her attitude. She didn't try to have a discussion. When asked how she anticipate the futur of her son without her, she simply shut down the conversation. This would have been a great segment with both sides of the debate.

The path to hell is paved with good intentions...
If one has money, resources, help, etc., etc....then one can see the world through rose colored lenses.
But, if ones has no money and has a severely disabled child, then all hell breaks loose and life becomes a real nightmare.
People must have options, people should have the right to choose.
