Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 I was HORRIFIED to read some of these posts. I am truly sorry to hear that your own mother's could say such things! As for societal worth, judging potential by a persons physical appearances is just plain idiotic. There are plenty of able bodied people who are completely worthless (to most of society). I am the mother of a type II daughter and i would give up my own parachute rather than leave her behind, personally i think any mother who wouldn't has the maternal instinct of a rock. I hope none of us are ever in any situation where we have to choose between the life of two human beings, but if it came down to it, i would shove an old lady with a basket full of kittens in front of a bus to save my daughter... in a heart beat! Now please don't send me hate mail, I was just trying to make a point. I know full well that my daughter will never grow up to be a supermodel or professional ballerina, but she is kind, funny, loving and brilliant, and i am certain she will contribute far more to this world than many able bodied people. Perhaps i have a different opinion than some about what is 'useful' to our society, i don't think it has one bit to do with how much money you make. I am not a religious person, but it comes to mind that Mother Theresa never made a dime. Quote
