Couples with Down syndrome don't need to be sterilised, they need support - The Sydney Morning Herald

Quote:
Australian Story aired 'Tough Love'. It was the story of two world-class swimmers, Michael Cox and Taylor Anderton, who met and fell in love while competing.

They both live at home, but want to have sleepovers. They want to move in together. They want to start a family together. All perfectly normal aspirations for people in their 20s.

Their parents don't share their excitement.
