This is simple, but scary. Imagine a life where you were born with down syndrome. An oversized tongue. An undersized package. Webbed feet. And of course, severe cognitive deficits. But wait! You don't have to imagine. Gather these following things:
- Mirror and/or a camera
- A bed
Prop the mirror against a wall a few feet facing the bed. Or get your camera ready. Or both. Now lay on the bed, on your back, with your head hanging over the edge. Scoot back towards the edge a bit. Lean back, so your head is upside down. Now look at your face in the mirror or take a snapshot. This is what you would look like if you had that extra chromosome. :eek:
