My mother works with teens who have things such as downs syndrome and autism and other similar issues. This one kid, Matthew, she's been working with since he was 9 (he's now 18). He has both Downs Syndrome AND mild autism. I remember once hearing someone say that all pregnant women should be tested to see if their kids had downs or any other of those disorders that can be tested for in-utero and if they have them they should be aborted. Made me so mad!!! He said they will never be productive to society. You know what? Matthew may never hold down a job (although many downs people can hold down jobs... we have a guy at our local supermarket and a guy at a restaurant) but he is DEFINITLY productive in society and let me tell you how. He is never want for a smile. He says hi to everyone. He laughs. He hugs. He is a joy to be around. To me that is more than a lot of people who make money and add to our economy will ever do. I say making people happy is being very productive and I am sad for that man who made those statements because obviously he's never had his life blessed by one of these wonderful people!!!
