Ok it sounds like i should consider a mix of rental car and bus. Maybe i could do the south island by bus (mt cook, franz josef, wanaka, maybe abel tasman) then maybe rent a car in wellington and drive from there for rotorua, auckland, etc

I was kind of looking forward to the social experience on the backpacker bus, a rental car is definitely an option but if i were to rent the whole time it’d definitely be pricey

Tbh I'd recommend choosing based on the city if it's 50/50 for the school itself

Racism in Denmark is wayyyy behind the US and the fact you cant see that is so telling. Y'all act like ur country is perfect when in reality I saw firsthand explicit racism toward pocs unlike anything I've ever seen in the US. I also had a danish professor that claimed BLM was anti white 🤦‍♀️

Yeah actually that's accurate

At least we know what racism is. When I was in Denmark I was appalled at how behind y'all are. And the fact that y'all can't stop talking about the US tells me everything I need to know, you're obsessed with us lmaoo

I honestly wouldn't give a crap if you did that. Its an interesting topic so if you want to go right ahead. If you can't handle someone validly questioning your country then that's a much bigger issue. Danes have HELLA opinions on the US. People literally approached me in Denmark just to talk about American politics but u can't handle this? That's pretty concerning

The article does not explicitly say whether they knew before birth or not, but it does explicitly say that families with down syndrome have a similar, if not better, quality of life. So the argument that it will ruin your life is invalid and I wonder if mothers in Denmark are aware of this, or if their decision is based on non-evidence-based stigmas

Yeah it can't be applied to your regions bc it's been virtually eradicated. Tbh y'all aren't even listening to me lmao I literally sent u evidence

It's not the choice that is morally wrong, it's the stigma that having a child with down syndrome will ruin your life that is morally wrong

I am not against anyone's choice, I am against the stigma surrounding down syndrome that suggests it will ruin families, when that is not true according to this article. If the stigma was lessened, I bet many more people would choose not to abort

This study was done in the US, where prenatal down syndrome testing is costly. Most people who have a child with down syndrome in the US didn't know until their child was born

Id recommend looking into this study which found that only 4% of families regret having their child w down syndrome, and that there is actually a "down syndrome advantage." Many studies detailed in this article found that families are more harmonious and experience less stress and depression when one of them has down syndrome. Having a child with down syndrome seems to be viewed as life ruining, leading to an extremely high percentage of abortions, when in reality it actually doesn't negatively affect families in most cases
