Let's reform medicine next. People that would kill a person on the operating table should be allowed to get through Med School. Would you try to let them operate on you, just to help a clumsy doctor?

Frankly, I don't believe in "reforming" standards to the lowest common denominator so that we can pretend more people have improved. Expect less out of people and get less out of people.

Yes, I feel sorry for dyslexics and would even try to read their notes. However, I also don't expect to make one person's disability ten people's disabilities.

Go study the cultural revolution in China. What you propose may be well-meaning, but it is actually borderline evil.

I wonder what the soundspel spelling of "dyslexics" is. "Dis-lexus"?

If 22% of the patients died of infections, I guess we would reform our hospitals. When a system is bad, fix it. We have not reformed English spelling to match pronunciation for a thousand years. Whereas during that time we have changed medicine considerably, and live a lot longer as a result. Or do you prefer leaches and bloodletting?
