As a species, humanity has created something no other species has ever done in mass effect before. We have managed to pull members of our species out of the "natural selection" process to live and enjoy what they can about life.
These members are those we refer to as handicapped, mentally retarted, specially challenged, and those whom are considered "degenerates" of society. According to Darwin, these are the people chosen for death.
Yet we have saved them, and that's what makes us so special in this world. Since someone believes those people can contribute to society, we have made an adjustment on faith and prayer that they will be able to help us.
I have first hand knowledge that they can.
My brother, born with some very special challenges, is in school right now to become an accountant. He will take a test to get his CPA soon. I learn things about and from him every day. He's smart, talented and capable of anything.
No, he won't ever play football. Then again, I don't think he would have even if he was fit to play. He's just as smart as anyone I know, maybe even smarter. I think those special individuals that we have saved from natural selection are the best thing we've got going for us.
We are looking for peace in this world, something that is the antithesis of nature here on Earth.
So keep trying to change nature. Some day maybe we will be able to tame the sun.
