Why Do We Need a Cure?

Topical these days is finding the "cause" of Autism with, one suspects, the goal of "curing" it or eradicating it. Would that make the world a better place?

How different is that from finding the cause and cure for being gay, being Black, being deaf, being anything other than white and "normal"? Why do the powers that be have such a desire to eliminate anything that is different from them? It's not new, of course; Eugenics has been around for quite some time.

  • It's all a load of nonsense, ND has lots of causes, most of them a combination of genes, so how's that going to b eradicated.

    I like being me and wouldn't want to be "cured" even if it were possible, I'd far rather be cured of osteoarthritis which causes me far more problems than autism.
