    they still can be.

    I’ve known plenty of people with down syndrome that were abused and were some of the most vile people I’ve ever known.

    perhaps they are the best because they are treated differently and we should treat everyone that way.

      I agree. We should treat others differently. Case in point: several people trying to pick a flight with me about this.

      Of course I’m not saying “we shouldn’t try to cure this disease.” Maybe I’m saying, “these people are 'Innocents ’ who don’t have to have the same interactions with society as we do, and in some ways that’s better because society is fucked.”
