Response

My response was on a lot of stuff 08's blog. The article that they did was on down syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects a baby. The affect is not having good learning skills and being mentally challanged. See, when a baby is born with down syndrome it means that there is an extra copy of the chromozone 21. Also the chances of surviving are not very high when a baby with down syndrome is born. There is only a 75% chance of a baby surviving and if it survives there is a 85% chance that it will live to age one and a 50% chance that it will live to age 50 or above. Also, down syndrome mainly happens if a women in their forties or higher gets pregnant. All and all, down syndrome can be a devestating genetic disorder that usually involves death. I think that people with down syndrome should not be treated badly because of learning defects. This was fromhttp://alotofstuff08.blogspot.com/.
