15. I come from poor people.

I married and had 4 children we raised them on 90 dollars per week. Don't suggest I don't think poor people shouldn't have children!
Maybe Downs children are happy, but I still wouldn't subject a child to the life a Downs child would have. I stand by my words...any more than I would subject a child with spina bifeda to the kind of life they would have. That's my choice not to say others wouldn't choose differently.
