You cant "catch" Downs, it is a chromosomal abnormality you are born with. |

your friend is lying
downs syndrome is a problem with chromosomes (ie not enough)
hence the child is born with it |

That's not true. Downs syndromw is caused by a chromosomal abnormality, your friend is being stupid and pathetic. |

Yes, your friend is lying. Down Syndrome is not a disease you can catch. It is a genetic condition which would be diagnosed at or before birth. |

Your friend is a genetic miracle. He should let himself analyze by science, how in each of his billions of cells suddenly an extra copy of chromosome 21 could appear.
Truly amazing.
Yes, it is highly contagious. Otherwise he could not have gotten if from that other girl. It must have happened with a retrovirus, constructed in Russia during the cold war, and first spread in the Netherlands, where I come from.
I suppose most politicians and lawyers are infected too already.
How to save the world? That is a new question for Y!A |

Your friend should come up with something better to lie about. You can not catch down syndrome. You are born with it |

It probably wasn't down syndrome, check with him again about what he did get. Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder, like other people have said it is something that you are born with and it is not acquired over time. |

Down's is an abnormanlity on one of your chromosomes. It can range from mild to severe. But It is not contagious. Down's is usually accompanied w/ some degree of mental retardation and if you're friend does have Down's then he may be confused about when he got it. Or he may still be confused about a different disease that he has. Or he may be lying. Or all of the above. |

No it's a chromosomal abnormality,so you have it from birth. It's impossible for your friend to develop it in 7th grade. |

No absolutely 100% not. You cannot catch it, it's genetic, it isn't a contagious disease, you should google this!! |
