Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

In the womb, prior to the third term? Probably.

Third trimester is iffy at best. Past that, absolutely not.

>People attacking OP's curious view.

When it comes to the people who are so mentally handicapped that they can not function in society, what's the point? You're going to need a full time supervisor to baby them which just wastes resources. Taking care of someone like that is like cleaning crap, it's a dirty, thankless job and ultimately a waste of time. I'm not saying "KILL ALL THE LESSER BEINGS!" but if the parents don't have what it takes to take care of him for the rest of their lives, why should non immediate family members do it?

Because the basis of society is judged by how we take care of those who are less fortunate than us, and killing off people simply because we don't feel like taking care of them is generally frowned upon among civilized people in general.

And nobody is asking anybody to do something they don't want to. Believe it or not, there are plenty of social workers that find pride in taking care of those that are unable to do so themselves.

Number 3 is bull-blam!-. My autistic cousin is employed and makes furniture for a living.


Autism isn't mental deficiency. Autistic people are often very intelligent and productive, mentally deficient people are a whole other league and the OP is pretty spot-on.

I apologise for derailing the thread

It's a thread about killing unwanted, mentally disabled people. It derailed itself from sanity the moment it was created.

Define mentally deficient.


From a medical standpoint, it is diagnosed by having an IQ level below 70, but comes in levels set in the DSM-4

84-70 is borderline
69-50 is mild
49-35 is moderate
34-20 is severe
Below 20 is profound

Borderline to moderate deficiencies can live somewhat normal lives if given proper care and training.
