Down Syndrome Reflection

Down Syndrome is an unfortunate hindrance of having one or more extra chromosomes. Having Down Syndrome results towards the child having a short and wide neck, short arms and legs and have eye problems which can lead to celiac disease. Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder that someone who has it can live up to the age of forty-seven. Down Syndrome has caught my interest. I wonder how it must be to be related to one with Down Syndrome or to even have Down Syndrome. I definitely hope there will be more information about Down Syndrome and maybe ways to reduce it. Down Syndrome affects one in every seven hundred thirty-three babies. This means about five thousand four hundred twenty-nine babies are born with Down Syndrome a year. Down Syndrome made me feel respect for anyone who is dealing with it right now.
