  In what is known as the expressivist argument, disability theorists have argued that screening embryos or fetuses followed by destruction of the embryos or abortion of fetuses sends a negative message – “It is better not to exist than to have a disability” (Saxton 2000), “We do not want any more like you” (Wendell 1996) – to existing people with disabilities, particularly those living with disabilities for which testing is routinely done. The negative message is harmful and might be considered a form of discrimination.
