Why do people call Down Syndrome Down's?
Down syndrome is the correct term. People who are using "Downs" are speaking incorrectly. Down syndrome used to be called Down's syndrome, but since John Langdon Down did not have nor "invent" this chromosomal abnormality, the correct name is Down syndrome. Countries such as the UK, still use the term Down's syndrome, but shortening it to Down's is not using people first language, therefore, it is incorrect.
Would a male with Down syndrome and a male without Down syndrome have a child with Down syndrome?
== == * I did some research and learned that men with Down syndrome are usually sterile. Most women can get pregnant and have children. Since there is a high risk of Down syndrome in the baby (35%-50%), many times the pregnancy would end in a miscarriage. But many Down syndrome people have had children. * Technically yes, but it's unlikely. Fertility is greatly reduced in both males and females with Down syndrome, although there have been a few cases of males fathering children and females bearing them. * Actually, there has only been 1 case of a male fathering a child. A women with Down syndrome can have children, but there is a 50% chance that the baby will be born with Down syndrome.

Do you think it should be forbidden for someone with Down syndrome to become a parent?
WikiAnswers contributors share their opinions;There is no way a person with Down syndrome could take care of anybody else, let alone themselves.Some people with Down syndrome marry. With rare exceptions, men with Down syndrome cannot father a child. In any pregnancy, a woman with Down syndrome has a 50-50 chance of conceiving a child with Down syndrome, but many affected fetuses are miscarried. Knowing that says that nature is taking care of itself. If two people who love each other have a chance at having a healthy baby, then the best of luck to them. After all, "normal people" have babies with down syndrome and they are loved.And again I will say that males with Down syndrome are almost all sterile (only 1 case documented). And if a female with Down syndrome becomes pregnant with a viable fetus, the father obviously does not have Down syndrome.Some people with Down syndrome are able to function and be a lot more independent than others. As to whether it should be forbidden, my answer is this: "HELL, NO!" Didn't you ever watch "Life Goes On"? If so, do you remember Corky?
