Actually there is a story I read saying...
21 years ago my sister was born with Edwards Syndrome or Complete Trisomy 18.
The doctors told my parents that helping this baby is a lost cause and she will only live for a month. My parents refused to give up and not help her.
My sister turned 21 on Sunday. She is the oldest living person with Complete Trisomy 18.

The average IQ of a young adult with Down syndrome is 50, about the same mental age of an 8- or 9-year-old child, but this varies.It may take children with Down syndrome longer than other children to reach milestones, but they will eventually meet many of these. Children with Down syndrome are at an increased risk for certain health problems. However, each individual with Down syndrome is different, and not every person will have serious health problems. Many of these can be treated.They do have a shorter life span than other people. In 1910, a baby born with Down syndrome often didn't live to age 10. Today, someone with Down syndrome can expect to live to age 60+, depending on the how severe the health problems are.
Patau syndrome is primarily caused by having an extra copy of chromosome 13, known as trisomy 13. The likelihood of this genetic condition occurring increases with maternal age, particularly in women over the age of 35. However, most cases of Patau syndrome occur randomly with no known cause.
