The sad thing is, some people can’t grasp the fact that a person with “different” capabilities, can actually lead a very fulfilled enjoyable life.

Not all people with Down Syndrome are living miserable lives. There are organizations out there that cater to their needs, providing work opportunities, living quarters, and social outlets. Many of these people take buses to and from work. There are outings that include others with the same type of condition.

These people can lead decent lives for many years.

Some of them are gifted with incredible brain function in certain areas. Some are map savants. Some are mathematics savants. There are others.

Before the computer age, if these people had been tapped as a resource, it’s entirely possible space exploration could have been achieved earlier.

We need to rethink how we see some people.

Isn’t it interesting that the Left that always casts itself as the defender of the defenseless, is the first group to in a sense support the extermination of these people.

This angers me intensely.

Absolutely, and it's an especially grotesque hypocrisy.
