World Down Syndrome Day 2025

When I was a child the subject of Down Syndrome was treated as a nightmare for the parents of such an affected child.

The condition, aka trisomy 21 is the result of an extra full or partial copy of the 21st chromosome.

It affects some 6000 births annually.

So the 21st of March was chosen to represent this condition in an observance called World Down Syndrome Day.

It is an event for the raising of public awareness and well being of those living with Down Syndrome.

The inclusivity and advocacy of these citizens of the world are likewise a big part of the observance.

It is sad to note that there was once (and still remains) a genetic screening process to promote the abortion of Down Syndrome children.

Luckily, with the discovery of that scam which is planned parenthood the democrats no longer get to murder children wholesale as they would like and have in the past.

I personally have friends with down syndrome and they are without exception happy, caring, sharing, interesting, and engaging.

You don't have to function at some genius level to be more than adequate in the world.

It takes all kinds of people.

I hope you will observe World Down Syndrome Day as I do in an effort to understand and include those whom you might otherwise overlook.
