We wanted to share a beautiful video created by our partners at Down Pride in the Netherlands. Watch and listen as Peter, a young man from Holland with Down syndrome, shares his life and his sadness that so many choose to abort people like him after a prenatal diagnosis.

After you watch the video, please sign our petition to the U.N. asking member states to:

• Stop systematic prenatal screening programs that target Down syndrome and deliberately encourage abortion as part of public health programs.
• Regulate the introduction of prenatal genetic testing, based on the principles defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in the Oviedo Convention (articles 11 and 12) and in the EU charter of Fundamental Rights (articles 2, 3, 21 and 26), the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities (articles 5, 10, 14, 15, 23, 25).
• Allow the use of genetic testing solely to enhance human care and well-being, and not to discriminate against people on the basis of their genetic predisposition.
