Response to Genetic Disease

After I learned about Patau's Syndrome for my genetic disorders blog, I looked around for other people's blogs and I found an emotional blog regarding Downs Syndrome. Apparently, people with Down Syndrome can never perfect their fine motor skills. In addition, Downers have shorter lives and take longer to develop language skills and speaking abilities. They also have lower I.Q.'s, but that is not there fault. Some people that I have seen with Down Syndrome have odd faces, for the extra chromosome they recieve that causes Down Syndrome can do that. This blog made me feel sad. These people are born with different features and phycological abilities which make them a deviation from most kids. Unfortunately, they are bound to be mocked. I give credit to all of the people with Down Syndrome who continue to go out into the world and face life. They are saying, "Hey, I might be different, but everyones different, so come at me."
