I agree. Being fond of a cousin with Down syndrome, my only cousin to my knowledge to have earned the title of "Homecoming Queen," I was interested enough to google further. I wasn't sure how the extra chromosome would affect her chances, should she so choose. It seems my cousin has a 15-30% chance of being fertile and, if she succeeds, a 50% chance of another like her. History gives male Down syndrome patients 0% fertility; God says they have to settle for being uncles.

Well, God bless her. Actually, he already has, with you as a cousin to advocate for and care about her.
