On Down -- Down Syndrome

[allwalledup]

thumbs up if you thought the things at 1:02 were bacon.

[MrWildernessLover]

Ethical question: Why is abortion of abnormal life (if found early in the pregnancy) unethical?

[SabarStudios]

My sister has Down Syndrome,

and she is the coolest person I have ever met!

[GHR573]

@janeenrocks5 well it is :D

[blurock29]

how

[TheLizzie109]

this is sad .but very intresting im learning it in science class

[NungaNunga12]

@TheLizzie109, Don't feel sad about them, they are learning and at least they aren't dead.

[FAiLCAKeS919]

im doing a project in my science class and we each get a genetic disorder (mine being down syndrome) and create our own website. THANKS SO MUCH THIS HELPED!

[TurkiMD]

thank you very much for this informative video .. Dr.Turki from saudi arabia

[juliebuglovesdarren]

I acknowledge it's incorrectness in wording, but it is an interesting video and very informative. My son was diagnosed at birth with Down's and I'm happy to gather any information I can about it.

"Down" rather than "Down Syndrome" was used to describe people with this condition at the beginning of the clip. Moreover, that's interesting connection-using fetal stem cells to develop tests to screen for down syndrome which will ultimately lead to tests for DS that will simply lead to more abortions rather than the cure that such scientists have been promising for years.

[Fairy403]

But the cure that is promised will take time to create. Whether or not the have the resources. And the burden of having a child with this is beyond imagine. I have a cousin with "Down Syndrome" and he does take extra care, guidance, and time. Sorry to be the devil's advocate... I actually moderately agree with you.

[leticiavelasquez]

@Fairy403 You can't imagine the joy a child with Down syndrome brings a family.

We are so happy that our daughter Christina has a secret code!

[Progo35]

DS is not "deblilitating" nowadays, as the average life expectancy for DS people is currently 60 yrs of age. Moreover, "Down" is not the proper term for the condition.

[dkhemmen]

It's called Down's Syndrome in the UK and it's just named after dr. John Langdon Down, who first described it in 1866.

trisomy21

[lostindreams3]

Great video. I can tell there are people of Swedish ancestry in this video.

[joslynandy]

What is it called whene you have one less chromison?

Up syndrom?

[vindicatedmess]

You mean one less trisomy 21 chromosome? you'd be normal wouldn't you? if you had one chromosome 21, it would be chromosome 21 monosomy.

[acetylslicylsyra]

miscarriage probably.

[clairemsh]

really good vid!

[VeronicaAngel123]

uh...exactly, have scientists found out why or how chromosome #21 appears in one of the parent cells?

[otchacha]

@VeronicaAngel123

- meiosis I errors: 76-80% of maternal meiotic errors and 67-73% of all instances of free trisomy 21.

- maternal meiosis II errors: 20-24% of maternal errors and 18-20% of all cases of free trisomy 21

- in rare families in which there is paternal nondisjunction, most of the errors occur in meiosis II

- in 5% of trisomic individuals the supernumerary chromosome 21 appears to result from an error in mitosis

[VeronicaAngel123]

hey great video(=

I've learnt alot about down syndrome.

[youngscientistKATEY]

thnx for uploading! really helpful!
