To be completely honest, I would say there are some people living with Down-Syndrome that live more productive, successful, and purposeful lives than some people on CE. Sure and there are a couple of dudes with ALS that live more productive lives than everyone on CE combined (Lou Gehrig, Steven Hawking), but why would you inflict a life of ALS on someone intentionally? It's definitely a tough subject. But I would ask people such as Stephen Hawking if they wish they had never been born. I'm sure many of them would say they are glad to be alive and experience life, despite their worldly challenges. After all, there's plenty of body and mentally abled people who wish they were never born. Pain, suffering, limitations and disability can be subjective. --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks <cite>Capn Circus posted [p:884855719] in Iceland ap...
