Why Do We Need a Cure?

Damojo

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.

  • I believe it unlikely that there will ever be a cure for someone with autism, however I believe it is possible that there may eventually be cures for some of the co-morbidities such as the ME/CFS that I got in my 30s (dependent upon funding for research).
