I think I would put sickness in, not for the benefit of the world, just to get rid of my blocked nose

Wow I can't decipher what that means and I've read it five times.

Why not put in sickness though? I mean sure it might remove things like autistics who are savant but it's worth it to remove the whole like cancers and stuff. Hell I could start smoking again without the worry of getting ill. (Yep I managed it, two months not a puff)

Stuff like that are already in, they are obvious.

Even if it's an obvious choice, it's still a valid one. And if someone wishes to discuss this particular thing, they can. You created this thread but you don't own it.

Anyway, I think Autism is considered a disability and not a sickness, and maybe room 102 is very specific.

I wonder what sort of butterfly effect we'd cause if we got rid of sickness forever.

Well I would throw all disability in there as well, if I could, just because of some of the disabilities of seen, some of them even in my not to estranged family, are really quite terrible, and it's not just losing a leg, (although that's not to suggest that isn't a valid disability), but it's things like the improper growth of the brain and spine, things like that.

Ugh, that's nasty. It would be fantastic if room 101 was real...but it would be really dangerous.

If there were no disability everyone would be identical, perfect humans.

No, not really, is having a lower IQ than someone else for example a disability?

IQ does not completely define a human being. You could be the nicest, kindest person in the world and still have a low IQ.

IQs are an outmoded system anyway. These days psychologists are much more likely to use the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, which produces percentile scores (i.e. a percentage rank compared to the rest of the population) for verbal skills, working memory, visual perception skills and brain processing speed.


For what it's worth, I scored above average on all of them but the brain processing speed, where I was smack bang in the middle of the population. Which explains a lot about me.

Lucky bastard. I was told my working memory was significantly lower than the average person's.

I think that there's a distinction made between a physical problem which inhibits development and simple lack of development. It's the difference between a mentally retarded person and just a plain dumb person.

If it inhibits your ability to live a normal average life it is disabling.

The average IQ should be 100, therefore any IQ significantly under that is disabling.
