Having spent 25 years at a large hospital I've had contact with many,many people with Down's Syndrome. And IMO this can't be anything but exploitation...because with Down's Syndrome you don't have the intellectual capacity to consent to things of this sort.

And yes,I'm a guy.

~ 1-2 % of Down’s Syndrome patients are called “Mosiac” which means only a percentage of their cells have trisomy 21.
These people can be high functioning and independent people.
The classic features of Down’s Syndrome are less noticeable and they can be cognitively intact and able to make decisions for themselves.
Caring for many Down’s patients, having someone like her in a position of celebrity, I think will make many people with Down’s very happy. I think its a win win.
