If you mean why they aren't allowed to, some people think that as they have a learning disability, they won't be able to cope with parenthood as well as those without. This isn't the case, as it varies from so bad that they might never be able to leave the house without accompaniment, to so mild that the disability doesn't affect their day-to-day life at all. If you mean literally, then I think it is, but if both parents had DS, then the child could inherit the condition, and for parents knowing what it's like, it probably wouldn't be desirable.

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.
