Well yesterday was in fact declared World Autism Day... who knew? I watched part of an episode of Larry King Live that discussed Autism and some of it's possible causes. Most of the discussion of the bits I saw revolved around whether or not vaccines are a culprit in the increasing rates of Autism. There was one piece that caught my attention which was that the kids with Autism are sometimes diagnosed with a contributing factor after they are diagnosed.... but since they were not tested ahead of time, doctors can't possibly know whether or not this factor existed prior to the onset of Autism (and after the vaccines.)
So given all the technology we have, are we coming to the day when people will be tested and retested from birth? Will you know the genetic mapping of your child before they are even born? Will you be able to post baby's first cat scan on the fridge? It certainly would be interesting.
