Hmmm, I'm a little offended, especially since I have an adult cousin with downs syndrome. He, of course is learning impaired, but he is a genuinely nice person. And, he's a true friend to many people. He is actually able to carry on intelligent conversations and has impeccable manners. He is also so confident and outgoing that he'll just start random conversions with people. And he creates really imaginative artwork. He's also great with music. Although he can't sing very well, he goes absolutely crazy with a drum set and is always on beat. He also learned to read some, mostly from being so good with music. He can be playing with karaoke and tell me a word on the screen is not the right word in the song or that it will be misspelled, and he'll always be correct. Of course, he has the classic downs syndrome look in the face. But, he has developed a unique clothing style and wears mostly suits with fedoras and boots. So, while not a lot of people compliment him on his looks, he does get compliments on his neat style. So, while these sorts of people do have some learning disability or other impairment, they do have the ability to learn and to be happy and creative. And I believe that no human should have that right to be happy or to live taken away from them.
Is it normal to wonder why the diseased people are still in gene pool?
