Alternative Title for this Unit

Submitted by Serendip Visitor (guest) on Thu, 06/02/2016 - 11:17am.

Instead of: How "MISTAKES" in Cell Division Can Result in Down Syndrome and Miscarriages maybe we can say:

How VARIANCES and/or IRREGULARITIES in Cell Division Can Result in Down Syndrome and Miscarriages. We want to avoid spreading the notion that individuals with Down syndrome are "mistakes". Same goes for other individuals with congenital conditions. Also, this lesson presents a great opportunity to invite individuals with Down syndrome to the classroom to ultimately help our school communities become a more inclusive and companionate educational institutions. (Human Diversity and Genetic Variances)
My humble opinion....
