I run the risk of being downvoted on this issue, but there is a personality type associated with downs syndrome. My experience of living in a community of down syndrome young people certainly supported this, but there has also been quite a bit of research on the matter... search Google Scholar and you will see a ton. In brief: very social, positive minded and very creative. Importantly, this seemed not to be effected by puberty, unlike the autistic kids I have known. The year I spent in there company was a gift.

Edit: user smeej has cited a few papers on this matter.

What a hostile and uncharitable thing to say.

Youre right, its a though question. Then again free will and the concept of "self" is an illusion.

Lets see where the world will go in this regard, only time will tell

You don't need to follow this line of thinking very far to justify a hell of a lot of evil.
