Quoted from Snook: Voted "Yes with some reservations". I'll sound like an ass for this, but honestly I'd rather not have to deal with the burden they place on their family & on society. I've seen my share of mental retardation, and the strains it places on their caretakers. It sucks.
But, I wouldn't kill someone because they had ADD or something that some psychiatrist invented (in regards to the mental aspect). I was "diagnosed" with ADD, and yet I'm working to become a productive member of society... Most mental illnesses are bunk, really.
As to the physical handicap: there are some people who, despite debilitating handicaps, have contributed much to society (Steven Hawkings).
People who don't obey the basic laws of society (don't kill, steal, rape, etc.), and are caught doing what they do more than once (in the case of stealing; rape & murder should be capitol offenses), have shown a lack of restraint (or are in dire circumstances a la poverty & stealing bread, which makes things complicated).
So yeah, I don't agree with Viss's reasoning, but I do with his overall message, to some degree. I just think the money could be spent elsewhere.
Confusing post but I got 4 hours of sleep after a shitload of physics... Catch me on this later.
EDIT:
Quoted from candicecan: No, This is wrong on so many levels.
If you're not meant to be alive, then God will strike you down in some way or another.
Oh shit, the "God deems it so!" argument. Get a better crutch.
I guess you did not catch my sarcasm, This isn't in serious discussion so I was cracking a joke.
The woods are lovely dark and deep, and I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep... did you hear me butterfly? Miles to go before you sleep...
