[QUOTE]Originally posted by EdipisReks: [QB] a congenital disease, such as down syndrome, is clearly an illness. simple mental retardation is not a congenital disease. it's simply having a sub normal intelligence. do the gifted have a disease? afterall, their intelligence is not in the normal range. of course the gifted do not have a disease. the retarded do not have a disease if their below average intelligence is simply caused by the fact that weren't born "smart". if they are retarded because they have down syndrome then they have a congenital illness. if they are retarded because their intelligence falls on the low end of what is possible with a normally developed brain then they do not have an illness. i don't think that the court really took into consideration the definition of the word "retarded", and i don't think that many people on this forum are either. to reiterate, if you are retarded simply because you are less smart than average but your brain and other physical attributes are healthy and normal for a human being, then you DO NOT have a disease.
