Do severe physical or mental and physical disorders (severe based on their ability to lower IQ or kill quickly), such as Duchenne's Muscular Distrophy,Cystic Fibrosis, or Down Syndrome, mean they cannot contribute to society as much as those with lesser disorders (non-lethal, doesn't affect IQ), such as Austism, ADHD, Asperegers, or being confined to a wheelchair?
