Summary
Jen Arnold, neonatologist and former “Little Couple” star, delivers a powerful message on prenatal testing: medical advances must be matched with compassionate, non-directive counseling that respects families’ autonomy. Drawing from her lived experience with disability, she argues that conversations around diagnoses like Down syndrome must center the dignity and humanity of people with disabilities—not fear or judgment. In response to recent high-profile pregnancy terminations, she insists that every life holds immense value, urging society to shift from stigma to support.
