問卷填寫者表示他們有家人與朋友的支持，並相信現在的社會環境，對待唐氏症 者的態度比以前好多了。融合教育幫助人們在接受程度上的改變。一名受訪者指出：「我不相信有『完美』的人種，對於依據自己的喜好來篩選孩子這想法，令我感 到感到厭惡」另一位說：「我已經對肚裡的胎兒感到一股強烈的責任感，我知道不管孩子會有什麼特殊需要，我都會愛他。我知道我的親朋好友都會支持我。」

Most respondents said they felt supported by their family and friends and considered that the future was far better today for those with Down's syndrome. They pointed to integrated education in particular and a greater acceptance of what it means to be different. One respondent said: "I don't subscribe to the notion of the 'perfect human being' and found the idea of selecting one child in preference to another abhorrent." Another said: "I already felt a strong sense of responsibility for my unborn child and knew that I would love it and want it regardless of any additional needs it might have. I knew I could count on friends and family for support." The survey was compiled to coincide with the BBC Radio 4 documentary Born With Down's.
