Perfection

I am going to make a bold claim. My son has Down syndrome, and I would not change it if I could. Would I mitigate some of the cognitive and physical effects? Certainly. Do I support research to improve his situation? Of course. But just as I would not change the melodrama exuded by my middle child, I would not change my oldest son's genetic composition that is an inherent part of his character.
