Sir: Thank you for writing your article, 'All you need
is life', thank you for its clarity and its courage. Your sound, firm and wholesome approach is a welcome antidote indeed to the pro-extermination lobby that appears to dominate the media.
I had my babies at 35, 38 and 39 and although all three were 'normal', I can still remember how disturbed I was by the con- stant exhortation of the nursing staff that I should have the tests, even whilst they blithely admitted that many of the people who had had the tests went home and mis- carried almost immediately.
I found it hard to enter into the recent V-E celebrations simply because it seemed to me so hypocritical. `The morals of the vanquished have conquered the victor', as I believe Tacitus observed.
