Yes. It is not their choice to have Down Syndrome and they could be a very great person.

Yes...Why not? As long as they have a great personality

No. It wouldnt get anywhere. I wouldnt have any children by him and i just wouldnt do it.

Heh, yeah...'cause THAT'S real rewarding...

no but i would befriend one :)

No - I would befriend one but in order to have a relationship I need someone who is intellectually compatible.

I work with people with down Syndrome. I will be their friend and do things like we do with the people at work, such as go to the movies, shopping, dinner ect. But I would not date someone with down sydrome in the romantic sense. I am not sure about all Downs people, but the ones in the home I work in do not even understand an actual romantic relationship or are they legeally able to be sexually consenting. So date no, friend yes. I love the people I work with and they are unique in their own ways but they are not someone I could date.

correct me if im wrong, but i believe if you have sexual relations withsomeone with downs syndrome you can be charged with sexual assault as they are not able to give consent. so thats a path i would not go down.

Honestly, no I wouldn't.

no BUT it depends so much on the persons personality just like anyone else and of course if they were higher functioning or lower functioning. he would have to be pretty miraculously high functioning though. I have two cousins with down syndrome. My cousin Brittany was adopted at 6 by my aunt and is very high functioning. She can speak comfortably and easily hold conversations though she can be a little difficult to understand when first meeting her. shes aware she has down syndrome and is different then other kids but is a total social butterfly. our family feels she could date but they would of course be incredibly careful who they allow around her and keep any relationship she has under a VERY close watch. my Cousin Brody was born into my family and is lower functioning. he is sweet, sensitive, and absolutely loves meeting new people and makes friends everywhere but is for the most part unable to communicate through talking and knows little sign language. he will always need someone to take care of him. I believe someone who is mentally disabled and lower functioning should date people who they can absolutely relate to and are at similar levels of their mental capacity.

To be completely honest, not a chance. I have to be attracted to anyone I date and down syndrome.. well it's just not attractive.

That is by far one of the strangest questions I ever saw here.
