Appearing on television within twenty-four hours of your kid's admission that he planted 18 pipe bombs, and making the statement "my son is not a dangerous person" doesn't help his case. It only makes you look either feeble or plain fuckwitted.

I don't think he's talking about people who choose to accept the handicapped child fate as given them, but the people who actively choose and make an effort to ensure that thier child is handicapped.

For an example, if you haven't heard about it, a deaf lesbian couple (I only mention sexual orientation as it explains why they were looking for a sperm donor to begin with), actively chose a deaf sperm donor to increase the chances of the child being deaf. They succeeded.

*nod.* I did think that that was what he was referring to.

Yes, that is what I was refering to, things like that. I have mixed feelings on doing so without intention, but doing so with intention is very amoral.
