That’s interesting- but do think of the challenge it places on parents. Bringing up a child with Down’s syndrome is extremely tough, and they never really become independent adults.

That's my main concern about a child with a disability.

I don't mind taking care of them for the rest of my life, but who takes care of them after I'm gone?

People with down syndrome end up homeless all the time.
