An amazing attempt to fix Sarah Palin's baby's Down's Syndrome:
Pray for Trig

Please sign up below for the Prayer Team!
This will help us to know how many people plan to join together on Sunday, April 18, 2010 in prayer, asking our Lord to heal Trig Palin of Down Syndrome.
Through this miracle, His Majesty will be displayed to all nations!
This woman is ACTUALLY requesting that people pray to God to take away Trig Palin's extra chromosome, so that HE can be healed. Why Trig Palin you ask? Well she explains that, kind of.
Q: Why Trig Palin?
A: Trig Palin is well known in the media; people all over the world know just who he is, and they already care about him. It will be much easier for them to sincerely pray for someone they care for, instead of what to them is a random name.
Also, it is known publicly that Trig Palin indeed has Down Syndrome. Science has no way to undo this condition, which is the result of an extra chromosome; but God can. When Trig Palin is found to be miraculously healed, everyone but the most hardened atheist will have to acknowledge God’s Majesty!

I wonder who she thinks put the extra chromosome there in the first place..? I think I can guess.
I don't know about her particular flavour of God but she clearly seems to worship ignorance.
And this lunatic was seen to be a valid choice for possible Vice President?
Oh Steve, it can't have been God put it there. It was we hom-mo-secks-shules or the fact that the USA tolerates it, us, them! See Fred Phelps for details!

And when he isn't "healed", even the most fervent believer will have to admit that there was nothing there to pray to.
Oh wait, I forgot, they'll just decide it was god's will that Trig should still have Down's.
That's right! Who are they to tell god to change Trig's chromosones?
In fact, it might make him angry and he'll cause an earthquake...oh wait, he already has.
First, let me correct the assumption that the Palins had anything to do with this or any knowledge of it...they didn't. This was all the doing of some independent moron named "Shirley". Second, as Christian and the mother of a perfect baby boy with Down syndrome, let me say that woman is a lunatic.
Our children have an extra chromosome by design. It was not a mistake. They are not broken and they do not need to be fixed. A society that sees something wrong with our perfect kids is what needs fixing.
Read the extensive comments on the site from other parents to see what this site is really about.
Thank you, Tara. As the nephew of an uncle with downs syndrome I can tell you having downs syndrome in no way diminishes one's humanity or one's capacity to express love. I agree, there is nothing to be fixed except our attitudes toward those who are different from the majority.
Sorry that I misspelled chromosome! what an idiot.
Thanks Tara for commenting.
In my view conflating biological variation with how we treat sufferers of genetic disorders seems to be unhelpful and potentially self-defeating, the two things are not connected in my mind.
I have genetic disorders in the sense that certain defects in my genes give me physiological problems in my life; every human has roughly 100 variations from their parents, some are problems, some are not, that is a consequence of the process of descent, not design. Fortunately for me these defects are not serious ones just the regular ones associated with the concept of variation in a population, there is nothing implied (socially) by calling these variations what they are.
How we treat people that are different from the majority is a completely different subject and nothing at all to do with the reality of biology. I completely agree that much prejudice exists in the world which is based on biology, and that's an immoral thing.
Thanks for that very interesting point Steve -- as usual, that hadn't occurred to me.
Have you read Richard Dawkins' latest book on evolution? It's interesting but I don't think I have enough science background to follow it. Will keep trying though. he says in this book he isn't mentioning God ONCE because he's been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
Yes, I got it for my Birthday back in October. Not bad, probably 7.5/10 I'd say some of the analogies are a little stretched but I found it reasonably accessible.
You make a good point though, i.e. that's the trouble with science, it requires investment and effort in advance which kind of always relegates it behind fiction et al when it comes to a casual read.
