down syndrome
-
i would already opt to have it terminated b4 it was born...Originally posted by contact:if u really have a DS baby then is it still funny?
but choy choy lah...i dun wan a mutated child -
but the tests may not accurate. the test results and the 'end product' dun tally. i.e. test may be tested +ve for DS but baby come out normal, vice versa.Originally posted by ceecookie:i would already opt to have it terminated b4 it was born...
but choy choy lah...i dun wan a mutated child
so, one may abort a normal baby on the pretext of the result. -
just curious. why do pple with DS have similar facial features?

Down syndrome = retarded person.

Never heard of gene removing operation. Anyway, you can't abort the baby either. It's against the laws.Originally posted by ceecookie:if say a baby still in the womb developing say 6 or so months old then it was discovered to have DS coz of one extra chromosome is it possible to use surgery to remove the extra gene?
Even genetic engineering might not be able to help. -
LOL, if they are, then you are too.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Down syndrome = retarded person.
It's just like autism kids. They don't talk, does that means they are dumb? Anyway, it's not that they don't talk, they just have problems socializing with people. It's just utter rubbish that Down Syndrome kids are retarded. -
Me no problem communicating with them =p
they are human so why not.
I first comunicate with DS kids in Secondary School ba as CCA, den in poly as field work but it was enriching and fun knowing them.
I still remember the innocent kids, yeah they have low IQ but they are honest with their feelings and they can be taught slowly and be independent in time to come.
Hmm... there was one boy a particular favourite with one of my friend, cute mah.
Well! nowsday one can see them around in society be it working or just strolling around, see them remind me of my committement lolx.
*go search for volunteering*
Anyone care to join me? -
It's against the laws to abort anyway. The foetus has already developed for more than 4 months.Originally posted by digicharat:i would request for an abortion.

Actually they don't have problems with socialising, they are very open and approach you directly with their sincere way. They like to socialise.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:LOL, if they are, then you are too.

i would be apprehensive communicating with them...afraid to be not tactful...
-
Goody goody. Then I hope to meet them. Me got problems socializing. Maybe they will start the conversation.Originally posted by thinkdifferent:Actually they don't have problems with socialising, they are very open and approach you directly with their sincere way. They like to socialise.
Somehow, I find these people are better than normal people. They are much more simpler. But too much of these detach me from reality... sometimes, I just think too simple and too naive. -

Oh I see... I'm so lucky that I'm not DS or autism.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:LOL, if they are, then you are too.

People my age. Kids probably can also, but they won't understand what I do.Originally posted by MoonIce: depend u wanna socialise with kids or adults where they fully understand wat u doing -
its okieOriginally posted by contact:sory
it's DS...
but i dun think its related to DS at all.
DS is abnormaly in Chromosome 21.
Androgeny doesnt affect 21. its extra chromosome of 23.
although both have 3 sets of chromosomes, they are totally different medical conditions -

..*dunno if those guys have to wear a bra alfajie is right. DS is DS. XXY is XXY. the type of mutation is the same, as is the mechanism. but they are two distinct profiles. anyone with an extra 21st chromosome is DS, simple as that. -
i prefer to say that DS is somehow more extreme..Originally posted by starblue: alfajie is right. DS is DS. XXY is XXY. the type of mutation is the same, as is the mechanism. but they are two distinct profiles. anyone with an extra 21st chromosome is DS, simple as that.
