| Down syndrome is not a very good candidate for any kind of cure because it is only marginally genetic. The most common cause of downs syndrome is old eggs. The problem with downs syndrome is a trisomy of the 21'st chromosome, making the disease more mechanical than chemical. The only affective way to treat this is prevention, by only conceiving while young, or through screening (which involves considerable discomfort for the woman).
"And the likes" ??? Are you talking about the other trisomies, or just diseases in general?
Fixed ideas are like a cramp in the foot - the best remedy against it is to tread on it.
