Who was Venerable Jérôme Lejeune?
If you asked a secular scientist, they would probably tell you he was a pioneer of scientific research who discovered Trisomy 21, the chromosomal abnormality that causes Down syndrome.
If you asked a Catholic, they would certainly mention his groundbreaking scientific achievements, but they would also tell you about his tireless and unrelenting advocacy for people with Down syndrome and the unborn.
Throughout his long career, and despite the very secular atmosphere of his field, Jérôme Lejeune continually stood up and proclaimed that people with disabilities and the unborn have the very same human dignity as anyone else and should be respected as such.
