We still have not recovered from a plane crash into the towers because WE propped up Europe’s banking system .
Imagine what it would be like if something disrupts trade there again .

Spent most of last Friday and Saturday with my wife’s cousins son Chance who is a Downs child. Him and me were instant buddies. He is 8. I had so much fun with him!! He wanted to look at whale pictures on my phone. He would take my hand and make the motion of a whale jumping out of the water sound effects and all.
I look forward to seeing him again in a month.

My own child is handicap due to his biological mothers drug use. We adopted him when he was a baby.

There is so much wrong with this question, but the first and foremost issue is that it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with biology. A student acted as the whistleblower in this case, snapping a picture of the test with his cell phone.

True - but that would have been an excellent question for a test in an Ethics class...

Regarding the Biology test, however - How did the teacher plan to score the answers to that multiple-choice question? And what if some pupil had penciled in "none of the above - the baby is a human being and should not be murdered?" How would that have been graded?

I can't wait for Bryson to become communicative ... I love communicating with special children

We have an autistic kid in church that we have a lot of fun together ... which makes me question the whole autism thing

A Downs person is too much of a burden on society to be allowed to live but a 4th generation welfare queen whose main function is to squeeze out future welfare leeches isn’t?

Post of they day. Kudos!

The people who encourage abortion of those with Down Syndrome are bigots and should not be allowed to teach in public schools. I wonder what the abortionist response would be if someone developed a test that could predict if a baby would become homosexual. Would they support abortion of such babies?
