Natural

Down syndrome is a naturally occurring phenomenon in the human population. This genetic condition can be found across cultures, genders, and socio-economic levels. It occurs in approximately 1 out of every 800 births, so it clearly represents a natural component of humanity. For people with Down syndrome, the genetic condition does not define them, but it is inherently a part of them much like race or sexual preference.
