May I just say, I don't think Redway meant offence at all in his opening post to anyone in particular.

I think he was just saying a general comment as to how others may judge or measure value on individuals.
I know of people who see the severely diasbled as having no worth, this Govt for instance for starters.

I really believe Redway was not stating a view that was his as to measuring value but just asking a question, sometimes it is an extreme example that provokes thought and gets the opinions flowing.
Redway is a really good guy and I am sure he meant no offence to anyone in the opening post.

I made my comment in which I higlighted a severely disabled friend of mine as an example of where I saw greater worth because of the disabilities. However I took no offence at the opening post question nor was I offended in anyway by it either.

I think the question brought about some good, strong and well thought out comments and that I firmly believe was the only intention from Redway and his opening post on the thread to gather others thoughts overall..
