Whilst it would depend on the severity of the Downs, if my brother-in-law who lives with us were female then a sterilisation would be a definite choice. |

Having pondered on this one I believe that any decision should be based on the mental age of the subject and not the chronological age. |

It is really very difficult to say, but really just stop and think about what would you do if it was your child in these circumstances? My sons step daughter “E” has learning difficulties. My DIL and my son have talked to her about boy friends and explained what can happen in a relationship. She has had a couple of boyfriends at school but nothing serious, they have always encouraged her to bring all of her friends home and are very aware of where she is going, who she is with and what she is doing. She is so honest, and when asked she will just tell it as it is. My son & DIL are loving, generous and responsible parents they both adore “E”, as does the rest of the family. |

Downs is a chromosome thing isn't it? I used to have a friend who had Downs syndrome and she was eventually living in a home where I would visit her. |
