Down Syndrome

This is an odd article. Since we can now discover fetus' with down syndrome, speculation is that 90% are aborted.

I personally find it frightening. I don't have much experience with down syndrome people, but I did work with one actress named Marcy on a project and she was an absolute delight to work with - her parents were sweet and nice and she was open, receptive, and way smarter than I imagined.

I imagine it is incredibly difficult on parents to raise a child with down syndrome, as if raising a child isn't hard enough. But it's still scary.
