Survival

In evolutionary theory the survival of only those organisms best able (fittest) to obtain and utilize resources. This phenomenon is the cornerstone of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

The survival rate for Edwards Syndrome is very low. About half die in utero. Of liveborn infants, only 50% live to 2 months, and only 5 - 10% will survive their first year of life. Major causes of death include apnea and heart abnormalities.
