Humans were not meant to be born with an extra 21st chromosome. Just like they were meant to be born with two arms, two legs, etc. The cold hard truth is it's a defect, that's why they are 'disabled', that's what makes their needs 'special' (hence, "special needs") - humans generally don't require those sort of concessions or assistance. Regardless of whatever politically correct nonsense we get fed on a regular basis, it is a defect. I'm not being or trying to be cruel, I'm being honest. C'mon, this is stuff one learns in high school biology.

I guess my approach of answering a stupid question with a stupid answer was lost in translation. Did I really need green text there?

defect? isn't that just really one of the driving forces behind evolution? clearly these types of cases aren't survival of the fittest....but it's still evolution..which is basically one big experiment to see what works best
