One more thing to consider is that children with severe disabilities don't often live as long as a normal adult. It's not uncommon for them to die in childhood. So in that case natural selection does occur. I don't see that we should rush it or even unreasonably prolong the process through multiple artificial means. If this little girl (the one mentioned at the beginning of the thread) is having multiple siezures every day it is only going to get worse. Every time a person has a siezure it increases the likelyhood of another one. She is not going to survive a long time unless there is some miraculous intervention.
The mother caring for this girl is probably devoting a little too much of her own time and needs assistance and support from outside her family. But that is a choice she's made and not a choice that other people would make. It's not a cause of her child's disability but a move that the mother made on her own part. What I'm trying to say is, don't blame the child or child's disability for trapping her mother. Her mother trapped herself. It isn't healthy for the mother and when the child does pass away the mother is going to be devastated more than any normal parent.
