Good points all. I edited my original post to include that I am NOT talking about "weeding out" those different from us, just talking about my own personal opnion.
I've been reading about The Institutes' approach to rehabilitation, and apparently there's some serious backlash to their techniques, one of which even being that the parents are sucked into a "false sense of hope" at the expense of their well being.

I also would not include my original opnion to include children with health problems. I am only thinking about children with mental retardation on a moderate to severe level.
