Just get proper prenatal healthcare and abort the fetus. I'm not even being mean or edgy. Healthy adults are struggling to get proper healthcare everywhere in this world, even when they're healthy enough to advocate for themselves. Do we really think someone with Down syndrome Is going to be just okay in a world like this? Health inequality is real, and patients with Down syndrome are most susceptible to it.

Abort early and focus on improving the lives of the living.

You're not entirely wrong but that perspective is very dark and grim. Instead of trying to change people who are different and don't mesh with the system, we need to change the system itself to serve the majority of the human population. The two are not in sync with each other at all. The system as it stands is so broken, that it only stands to benefit the top 15-20% of society and that number has been on a bell curve of shrinking since the pandemic and we've made every mistake towards mass scale "social suicide".
