A member asked:
What happens if a person with down syndrome marries a person without down syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interesting couple: This is a realistic issue for those working with mentally challenged adults. Some patients function at the upper end of the DS intellect, with capabilities of strong personal relationship.All 21 trisomy males are functionally sterile, but females are capable of reproduction. Such a pair would have many challenges in life, but could do better than many "normal" couples.
