Given that at my age, the risk of Downs is only about 1/1000 or so, it does not make sense to have it. We very likely will do the non-invasive screens, to prepare for possible circumstances.

See, this is the analysis docs will give, nononono.
But if the negative value of a downs baby is 4x the negative value of a miscarriage, one should go with amnio. Yet docs are afraid to even suggest that calculus.
