I'm not talking about the socially awkward ones, with a bit of tutorship and training they can become a perfect add-on to any batch of friends. No, I'm talking about the ones that sit in their wheelchairs and stare into nothing while drooling and hitting themselves.
They will require substantial support for the rest of their lives, they'll never experience anything that's joyful or meaningful to them. At best they feel nothing and at worst they're experiencing extreme psychological pain.
We shouldn't euthanize them out of disgust, but more along the lines of empathy.
What are you keeping them alive for, their sake or yours? |

@Math,
Call me sick or twisted, but that autist in that wheelchair getting anesthetics injected into him is a person who will never achieve anything within life.
It's like being offered to live 50 more years when you hit 90 but you'll still have all the problems that an old person faces at that age. |

| Of course, the euthanasia program would have to be approved by the parent/guardian of the child. Even if this did go through the SJWs would be in uproar over this. |

MY GOD. What do you think their life is? A piece of crap or something? I may be interpreting this wrong so tell me but don't chew me out on it. You may feel empathy or sympathy for them, I can understand that. But for cuttingedginess's quote "What are you keeping them alive for, their sake or yours?" It does NOT matter whos' sake you are keeping them alive for, they are humans just like you and me! |

@ii
Woah, look out your butthurt cream for god's sake.
I provided a legitimate argument for why this should be implemented, why don't you try providing counter arguments against my case? |

Yes their life is "crap", they're a drain on society. Why should tax-payer money go to support them?

If there is one thing I hate, it's radicalised Liberals who think that just because some people have a LIFE-CRIPPLING DISORDER doesn't mean they should be euthanized for their own good.
Ugh. |

i have aspergers and i support this mostly because those that are lower functioning get all the monies for improvements while those who are more normal (like me), get overlooked because we don't seem like we suffer from disabilities |

I agree with you, but you also have to look at the moral standpoint of things, like ending a human life, is it morally right for us to play god and make that decision for them. Like some mentally disabled people are actually smart, but are unable to speak or move. I agree, but it is extremely morally debatable.
I didnt go to school to be a aid for math, it can solve its own problems |

@Pokemon,
You provide a good argument.
Even if they ARE a little intelligent on the inside, it's very difficult or damn near impossible for them to speak that out. Stephen Hawking is different though, he has a computer that he can type through.
Oh god.
I just realised that Hawking's muscles are gonna give out soon, what if he finds out something big but can't tell anyone about it? |

'If they're severely mentally disabled to the point of being brain-dead, they don't really want or care about anything.'
Eh, we never know. They might have a thought on it, but have little means of successfully projecting their thoughts. |

"My best friend has a slight form of Autism"
O.P is referring to the ones who live off of government money. The ones who do no good for society at all.

Wait, let me get this straight.
The government PAYS autistic people to freak out in public, fling their faeces at people, scream gibberish, squirm all over the place, break public property, possibly injure people and sit on their beds all day going "NYEEEH NYEENENENENEHHH"?
