Hi Jupiter can I know your source. Did they specify anything else? Because with recent research [not really recent 30 years back] has been shown it is not truly true that Down's man will be sterile. Hope you have read the link that I have sent.
If not.. please read here
Significantly impaired fertility of both sexes is evident in the Down syndrome population (Rogers and Coleman, 1992). While males have long been assumed to be sterile, Sheridan reports one case of a cytogenetically normal male infant that was fathered by a man with Down syndrome (Sheridan et al, 1980). Women have impaired but still significant fertility: a number of reviews document women with Down syndrome carrying pregnancy to term and delivering infants with and without Down syndrome (Bovicelli et al, 1982; Rani et al, 1990). Infants born to mothers with Down syndrome are at increased risk for premature delivery and low birth weight (Bovicelli et al, 1982).
Thanks a lot for your question again .
