Medical assistance?
It depends on the mental and physical problems of the treatment they will need depending on their condition. They can either get amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling.

No, there is no way to prevent it because the child is born with down syndrome.
What is their future like?
They will try to prevent from down syndrome people from having kids but if they do then yes, the children will be affected.

Doctors are trying to come up with a way for a cure but for right now there is no cure.
