Response to Down Syndrome

Recently, I read the blog of mooselover1892. She wrote about the genetic disease of Down Syndrome. This disease makes me feel very disappointed because there is still no known cure for it. There are many symptoms for this disease and some are very tragic, such as mental retardation. The patients of this disease live to a long long age, at all, in fact 85% of newborns die at the tender age of one. This makes me feel very sad because the children die before they are even able to talk. That is one of the many sad things about this disease. Still, there is no treatment for this disease but there is treatment for the health problems that come from this disease. 1 in 740 infants are born with disease making it not common yet, defiantly possible. Something that makes this disease even more tragic is the fact that most of the patients have very severe cases of it. Some of the bright things about this disease is that there are schools and training classes for children affected by the disease. That makes me feel happy because I know that the children are getting better from this terrible disease. Many of the children are most likely terrified due to this disease but the classes make them feel happier and better. That is very nice because these children need anything that can make them feel better
