very interesting -- I had always heard the statistics of that most males w/ Ds
are infertile and the ones that are would always result in a child with Ds -
very interesting indeed!

FYI:

To date, there had been only two documented cases of men with DS
fathering pregnancies. There is now a third. A paper was just
published from India about a 26 year old man with nonmosaic DS
married to a 22 year old female with normal chromosomes. They had a
normal baby boy.
