I'm kind of undecided about this.
My mother is an occupational therapist and works with people with disabilities, so I'm around it a lot. People have this misconception that people with Downs don't live "real" lives. I was even taught in school that people with Downs only live on average to be 23. Most live to be in their late 50's now with the technology we have. It is sad though, because every person with Downs will develop Alzheimer's...
Part of me agrees with the devil's advocate part. But I think I'd keep it.
