But once again this has nothing to do with the people themselves, this is about normal people debating what is good for their disabled offspring!



nah, the show is deaf parents with deaf kids - or a blind family or every one is a dwarf or whatever. the point of the show is that it is people afflicted with whatever debating about other people with the same affliction.

in the show, pros and cons are brought up about recent medical advances. sometimes the family is for various operations, sometimes against, sometimes there's a huge debate within the family.

As for "gay" being a disease, thats not actually a physical affliction like disabilty or mutant powers



i didn't mean it as exact comparison, animalman. i just meant that there are similar pro-vs-con arguments out there, like those on the discovery show, whose aspects the movie could have played up on.

and, again, i don't agree with storm's view. however, i'm certain there would be mutants that would, were it an actual scenario, particularly in a world where regular people are terrified of mutants, and ship their own children away, were they to show a mutant ability (good or bad)

the argument, storm's side versus rogue's side, would make an interesting dynamic and in turn, an interesting movie.

clearly, that did not happen.
