[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, okay. So, more conjecture. I'm not pretending that people with Ds only have intellectual delays. I found this on the March of Dimes website: Most of the health problems associated with Down syndrome can be treated, and life expectancy is now about 60 years I said it was compatible with life and not fatal to distinguish it from conditions like Tay Sachs or Trisomy 18. And Down syndrome is not incompatible with life or fatal. Some people with Ds may have heart defects, for instance, that may result in premature death. People don't die of Down syndrome, and many children with Ds are born without birth defects.[/quote] Most fetuses with T21 die before birth. Clearly, it is not always, or even usually, compatible with life. [/quote]
