It would take a lot of deliberation and would depend greatly on what the potential prognosis was. I can't give a definitive answer. We have a close family friend with a child that has downs. He is probably 13 years old now and seems to be doing really well. I'd say he has the intellect of a 5 year old and is sweet natured. He is going through puberty now which may severely change his disposition. But, I like seeing him at functions, he's always very happy and quick to smile/laugh. It took a village though, that's for sure. If you don't have the support or resources, then don't do it.
