A mockery really, this is the best you see for the mentally disabled, what do you know of the future life of a mentally disabled child. I've been around them as adults and I can tell you with certainty they enjoy life to the fullest. What you might think a full life is could be much different than those who have a considerable bit more than you have. They may think of you as someone so unfortunate that you should have been aborted to save you from a life of laborious work.

A loving mother who cherishes the gift she has been given, one who in love will help her child in all it's needs. Just because you think a child like this would be a pain in the ass doesn't mean that's the way most people see it. As most here know by know my wife and I have brought a mentally disabled lady who developed schizophrenia at age 30 into our home and she is the light of our lives and she feels the same about us. There are trying times and frustrations but they're no comparison to the joy of having her in our lives and I promise you she is happy and loves life yet, by your thinking you would have denied her the right to live a good and happy life. Who are you to make such a decision as to take the privilege of life from her or those like her. She has more love for others than any person I've ever met and all those who know her will tell you the same thing. So, are we to deny the world of such love, I think not but, then you would have had her aborted and thrown in a trash can, is this what humanity is coming to, get rid of them they will be a burden on society, personally I count that kind of thinking as discrimination, this is the way the Nazis thought. We haven't the right to regard them as trash.

I don't know about you but if I were a mother, I wouldn't do that to my kid.
Today children with mental disabilities are keep separate from other kids, my niece works in the public school system here and she works in the class for the mentally disabled, our school systems have become more compassionate towards children with disabilities.
A good mother would also protect her child from such bullying, love is a powerful thing and shouldn't be taken lightly.
You say you wouldn't do that to your kid, I ask what kid, you would have relegated it to a trash can. You wouldn't have a child to love and protect, you would never know the joy of a child that happens to see the world through different eyes, loving eyes,trusting eyes.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
