As of now, the overwhelming majority of future parents who learn that their baby is going to suffer from Downs decide to abort it. So 99 per cent of would-be Downs may not get to comment on their enjoyment of life at all.

IIRC there are countries and years without a single Down syndrome sufferer born alive. An effective treatment for the condition could change these stats.
