 The routinization of prenatal testing arguably institutionalizes the idea that disability is a medical condition detected at the level of the individual body. Furthermore, insofar as the standard response to prenatal testing is abortion, it entrenches the practice of ‘fixing’ disability through a medical intervention—specifically, the extreme intervention of simply eliminating the disabled body. According to the disability rights critique, this limits our ability to imagine addressing and alleviating disability at the social level. Yet in at least some cases, social approaches to disability have proven enormously effective. Consider Down syndrome, which is the main condition for which prenatal testing has become routine: Due to increased integration into families and schools, better support and education, changing expectations, and other social changes, people with Down syndrome now often have life spans and a level of independence and educational achievement that were inconceivable fifty years ago. Moreover, as Sophia Isako Wong illustrates, the social model's encouragement of integration, understanding, and acceptance may have significant positive impacts on non-disabled individuals, and on communities more generally (2002). Thus disability theorists and advocates urge us to reject the assumption that prenatal testing and abortion should be the default ‘solution’ to disability.
