Why do you never see a wealthy family with a child with a congenital disorder?
Question:
Any ideas?
Answers:
I have come across wealthy people with severely disabled children, such people usually live a more secluded life and therefore their children are not on public view.
Well, for one thing, I don't know where you got the idea that only poor people have children with Down Syndrome.
Anyone can have a child with Down Syndrome. It is just more prevalent in older women to have a Down Syndrome child.
However, the young women can also have one. No one knows the real reason for Down Syndrome but some have it mildly and others severe. Btw,it is Down and not Downes. Please go on line and type the word Down Syndrome and you will find all you want to know.
cause thier parents can afford medical treatment
Are you kidding? Try reading some history books.
The royal houses of Europe were riddled with congenital diseases, mainy haemophilia. The Russian revolution and the Spanis Civil War were both partly the result of a large section of the population not wanting someone with a hereditary defect to become King, or Tsar in Russia.
Our own Prime Minister has a child with cystic fibrosis. The leader of our opposition party has a child with severe disabilities.
If you think this doesn't happen in America, chances are your wealthy people simply hide their substandard offspring from public view.
It's probably not true, but wealthy people would have more money to live a healthy lifestyle, and get medical care to prevent disabilities, and if they did have such a child, would have the money to have them live in a facility, not at home.
have you never seen any sixties movies? the "undesireables" are hidden away in the attic for 30 years and then multiple murders are committed by the matriarch to protect the family secret. most important of all is to keep the secret from the hugely successful twin, who despite his business success feels a strange sense that something is missing in his life.
occasionally the long-serving butler/housekeeper man & wife will take the child as their own out of a sense of duty, but you can be assured that the child will grow up to fall in love with his/her birth sibling. seriously, they are just as common irrespective of wealth
Im sure that it is an historical fact that the British royal family suffered haemophillia
As to congential defects - not sure if you think that speech issues are counted but the Queens Uncle suffered with speach difficuties
As to recent history not sure why but the aristocracy seem to be blessed but Katie Price - you know Jordon - is worth a few bob and her eldest has his troubles
most of the time they have nurses looking after there children
Is it because you're blind ... or perhaps you just don't read.
There's some sort of discriminatory thinking going on here. For example, the Kennedy's had a sister that was mentally retarded.
