There is a third side to this: Increased self-awareness. This treatment only caused the brain to develop normally, which would mean that in the case of humans with Downs the other downsides to the disease would remain (until another cure/treatment was found for those as well, of course.) Would a person with DS who gains normal brain function really be better off afterwards? Would a large segment of the patients fall into depression? I have a brain damaged uncle and know just how much verbal/passive abuse these groups get in their day-to-day life, luckily in his condition it doesn't really get to him like it does a normal person.
