Interesting article on Vox by a mother of a DS child regarding cognitive-boosting medicines.

The answer seems obvious to me: cure/ameliorate DS as much as possible, and this debate sounds a whole lot like how some members of the deaf community are/were against cochlear implants for their children. I don't understand the logic, but then, I don't have a special needs child.
Would anyone here care to argue the con side: that as a parent, they wouldn't give their DS child treatment that would enhance their cognition (assuming the negative side effects were very minimal. The debate seems to center around removing the condition that makes the special needs child "unique", not whether such drugs are dangerous or not).
