Oh, I thought you were referring to physical disabilities, like all Down-syndrome people, etc.
Well, I've never read of a sociopath who had said, "I was raised in a normal family." I thought this was a really interesting read:
> The gene loaded the gun, but the environment pulled the trigger.
> This gene-environment interaction helps explain why two siblings with similar genetics can turn out very differently. The child who experiences abuse or neglect while carrying a susceptibility gene faces compounding risk, while the sibling who grows up in a safer environment may never express those traits at all.

God no. Exceptional people can be exceptional. My daughter is thrice exceptional (asd, ADHD, gifted). I would never advocate the elimination of people born with physical disabilities. They are some of the best and most resilient people if not tainted by the environment. My issue is the ruling class and psychopathy that has been passed along since well before 5000 BC. The ruling class has never been fully purged in all aspects except very close during the French Revolution and the Bolshevik revolution. Both of those failed long term because of usurpers like Robespierre (psycho) and Stalin (false revolutionary).
