What do you mean, Tribesman ? Could you elaborate a bit, please ?
Not being contrary or anything, I'd just like to hear other points of view.

Husar: Please read my statement again: I did not say legless people can not be beneficial to society AT ALL. I said that I don't see how a legless person can be MORE beneficial to society than a person with two functional lower limbs.

And while I agree there are exceptional cases (e.g. Hawking), they are just that: exceptions.

Note again that this does not necessarily reflect my personal views, like I said, I think that the multitude of perspectives this issue can be approached from may warrant a deeper analysis than a superficial dismissal (either pro or con).
