amazing. I guess when you ask a legitimate question that happens to make people uncomfortable you get flooded with "thumbs down".
By the way science scholars, Down's Syndrome is not the only chromosomal abnormality that can result in a chromosome count other than 46.

Yeah, please stop trying to start debates about things like this, that might cause some enlightened, intelligent discourse and that might raise the level of intelligence on YA by oh, 25%. Don't you know debates are dumb and useless?? Geez!!
Some people are so closed off, it's a wonder they can even see in front of themselves.

Yes, they are known as Downs syndrome babies. It is also called Trisomy 21. Downs syndrome sufferers are born with an extra chromosome, that gives them a total of 47 chromosomes.

Many people are "hung up "about finding physiological, archaeological tidbits of knowledge in the Bible. Please do not commit that error yourself. The subject matter of the books which make up the Bible are, the human soul, heart and conscience. Refer questions of this realm to it and you'll discover the magnificent treasure it holds. God Bless you.
