Response Blog- Down Syndrome =/

Today I read a blog (http://ponderingbacon.blogspot.com/) about the genetic disorder Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome occurs when someone has an extra chromosome. Older women with children are more likely to have a child with down syndrome than younger women. People with Down Syndrome tend to have a flat face, small hands and feet, have eye problems and loose ligaments. As of now there is no cure for it. However, people with this condition receive speech therapy, special education, occupational therapy and special exercises. I am glad to hear that they have treatment for the unlucky people who have this disorder. It must be so hard to live with it. I hope they eventually find a cure for the genetic disorder so that the humans who have it have the opportunity to live a normal life like us.
