This is an unjust discrimination. . "Unborn children with Down syndrome are bona fide human beings but are being discriminated against because they have a characteristic that some people arbitrarily believe disqualifies them from being valuable and protected."
 
Yet in my belief all humans are worth having a chance at this life.]]> 2018-11-07 16:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301618506 jessica_m_95 https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301623961 “All I can say is he has brought so much joy into our life and I feel like he has taught my husband and I to live in each moment. We look at life completely different now,” she said. “He’s a beautiful, little healthy baby. I want people to know it’s not scary, it’s beautiful.” 

Often parents too be that are expecting a child with downs are scared, because they are uniformed. But just as stated above, children with downs are just as beautiful humans, and if anything they have more too offer in this strange world then we know. ]]> 2018-11-07 16:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301623961 jessica_m_95 https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301631306 " People with Down syndrome have faced discrimination in Ontario and around the world. Half a century ago, people with Down syndrome were denied the right to an education, were given inadequate health care and most were placed in institutions, where their life expectancy was approximately 25 years." 

And now thanks too our laws people with downs have the same and equal rights as every other citizen in Ontario. ]]> 2018-11-07 16:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301631306 jessica_m_95 https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301634614 Although people that have down syndrome require extra help/attention it doesn't mean that they are not capable of reaching their full potential.

" Children with Down syndrome are attending mainstream schools and are learning to read and write alongside their peers. Young adults with Down syndrome are attending college and living independently, and some are gainfully employed. " 

Its proved that over the research, and with all our advances in life that a person with downs is just as capable of living a normal life like the rest of us. ]]> 2018-11-07 16:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301634614 jessica_m_95 https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301642734 Although people down syndrome still can progress and do well in life, they still have too deal with more challenges then the average person. Especially when people are uneducated and know little information on people with this disability. 

" Despite advances, many people with Down syndrome living in Ontario continue to face challenges. Misguided and outdated attitudes about the abilities of people with Down syndrome can result in low expectations, discrimination and exclusion, resulting in communities where children and adults with Down syndrome cannot integrate successfully. "

Down syndrome people are anything but ordinary, and are everything but extraordinary. And more people need to be less discriminatory and judgement free, and be open and willing to learn. We all should help each other progress in life.  ]]> 2018-11-07 17:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_m_95/leeo77jsoo87/wish/301642734
