What a blind fool (Dawkins). Conjecture is not a substitute for truth.
The Guardian reports [1] that, as part of his response to the blow back, he expressed:
"If your morality is based, as mine is, on a desire to increase the sum of happiness and reduce suffering, the decision to deliberately give birth to a Down's baby, when you have the choice to abort it early in the pregnancy, might actually be immoral from the point of view of the child's own welfare."
He claims to know what the world needs, and what the child needs. He claims to be an atheist, but looks to me like he worships his ego as his god.
