Wouldn’t this have to be done right after conception? At a time when you certainly would not know the child was downs. Seems rather impossible.

At a future technology level? Not necessarily.. There might be ways to fix a number of cells, reintroduce them to the patient, and have progressive improvement as the corrected cells multiply. Probably not a 100% cure, but a solid treatment that moves every patient halfway up the ladder. If every full Down's kid could shift to Mosaic Down's, that would represent a 10-25 pt IQ shift for the condition as a whole. And greatly reduce the severity and range of the many comorbidities that Down's tend to acquire.
