October was Down Syndrome awareness month. If you ask me, every month should bring more awareness about these wonderful people. It is the sad reality that only 10% of these children are allowed to be born. It is such a tremendous loss. My favorite quote is Down Syndrome is not something to mourn Down Syndrome children, like all children, should help us celebrate life. In the words of Dr.Jerome Lejeune, who helped discover Trisomy 21, and one of my heroes in medicine: Human genetics can be summarized in this a basic creed: In the beginning there is a message, and the message is in life, and the message is life. And if the message is a human message, then the life is a human life. Lets work to have these children cherished by society, and allowed to achieve all their wonderful potentials.
