...study "will finally do away with the entirely arbitrary idea that women over 35 should be alarmed and have amniocentesis and women under 35 are not at risk." In fact, most babies with Down are born to women under 35, simply because so many more of them are giving birth...
...Like other medieval scholars, Arabs believed that astrology was just as much a science as astronomy, and were convinced that the movement of stars and planets influenced an individual's life from birth.

It is a harsh blow to families and their ability to function healthily, and granting leaves to Harvard custodians would come at a small price for the University. The birth of a child is one of the greatest moments in a couple’s life, and both parents should be allowed to enjoy the moment.
