Dear Moos who oppose this treatment,
I completely agree with you! Since when is science allowed to advance and find a way to root out and cure a problematic birth defect that affects the carrier for the rest of their lives? I'll tell you when, in the BULLSHIT era! Specifically, in the year of our Lord 19Fucking Everything Revolves Around You, Madam!
Please, continue to openly oppose this miracle of modern medicine that could not only treat your own suffering child, but save future generations from what is, essentially, a fatal birth defect! Because you, my dears, are fucking martyrs! And your children should be grateful that you are on the front lines every day, like an overstuffed "Iraq Veteran" Build-a-Bear, fighting to ensure that they get to continue being teased and bullied in school and treated like a moron solely because of how they look and talk! Grateful, I say!
How dare these scientists even ATTEMPT to find a cure to a defect that affects 1 out of 700 babies! You'd think that they were trying to do something to help the children of the world! Madness! Everyone knows that science only exists to develop and design the newest SUV cup-holders and A/C units, and make chicken nuggets easier and quicker to cook! Scientists, get with the freaking program! You were told early on that you were only allowed to research ways to make Moos' lives easier! Now, you get back to your little chemistry sets and make some REAL breakthroughs! Before these blimps decide that they're not gonna stand for this bullshit anymore and crush your egg-heads with an ass cheek!

Ugh,this reminds me of deaf people who oppose implants for their affected children because they don't want their culture ( sign language etc.) to die out eyes2 I once saw a news segment on that topic and there was doctor who said if the childs parents are also deaf there's little to no chance they will consent to an implant...But yeah childfree people are soo selfish,right ?:eyebrows

Has anyone asked the person who atually HAS Down's Syndrome what he or she would like? I'm sure that the answer would be to "be like everyone else." Retards don't have a culture. They have health problems and handlers and SSI checks.

You reminded me of this guy I knew when I was growing up who is mentally retarded. I saw him last year and he was looking forward to some event two years in the future, but sad at the thought that he might not make it to what he thought might be his last good time. Indeed, he didn't look like he was in good health, he'd aged rapidly, as many with this condition do (in his 30s, with the body of an out-of-shape 60+ year-old). He was not happy-go-lucky, he was worried about dying.
Somehow I can't imagine that'd he'd choose his situation. Even with his limited intellect, he fears death and is aware of his decline.[/quote
If these parents think it is so SPECIAL how about once the kids are "repaired" they "tardify" the parents (if they can detard they should be able to tardify, yes?) and let them be special and have their kids take care of them. Wonder how many would sign up for that plan.
