Response Blog: Down Syndrome

I recently learned about down syndrome by reading a blog by a friend. Basically, it explained about the effects down syndrome has on a person. Also, it taught me that people with down syndrome have a lower life span than the average person. I understood everything in the blog, due to the fact that it was well explained. Women above 40 having a child have a 1 in 100 chance of having a child with down syndrome. I personally feel bad for people with down syndrome. They do not have the same privileges the average person always does. They can't do all the activities we can either. Lots of people take that for granted, and we all need to become more aware of whats going on around us.
