Would you want your next child to be disabled? No?
Well, they do in England. Because their government pays big subsidies to parents of kids that are physically impaired or have low intelligence. Of course, they don’t call it a subsidy, it’s referred to as Social Security. All paid for by the taxpayer.
These benefits amount to big money, especially when you include the Mobility Scheme: a free car with all expenses paid except petrol. Combine that with the free-of-charge National Health Service, and what do you get? You get women queuing up for artificial insemination. But they aren’t looking to have a child fathered by a genius or an Olympic champion. Oh no, they’re mostly looking for donors of low intelligence.
Dr Mohammed Patel of St James’ Teaching Hospital in Leeds, Yorkshire told us: “Most patients opt for low intelligence rather than massive physical disability for one simple reason. Low maintenance. Let’s face it, a kid with the same intelligence as a vegetable can be left to its own devices with little attention required, whereas physical disability usually means lots of heavy lifting and tiresome conversations.”
Mr Andy Burnham, the government minister in charge of the Health Service said: “It’s easy to be cynical. But we are striving for a fair society and do not accept stereotyping. We must support disadvantaged people, and we will not be deflected from this even if our policies mean that more parents have disabled children.”

This is the trouble with the UK, always determined to lavish money on unproductive people while driving proper people abroad with their high taxes.
England, thats in Alabama right?
Do you know if this is available in California also? Me and my husband are struggling with the credit crunch, having a disabled kid would really help us out if we could get some cash for it. How much do you get per month?
The free car sounds totally awesome
Do you think maybe a 2009 Mercedes S-Class (leather interior, chrome rims) would be out of the question?
Thats really messed up that they would pay people to have disabled kids they are some fuckin bitches i swear i hate british people.! they are disgusting to me they can eat my pussy and go to hell…! I HATE YOU PEOPLE YAWL ARE A DISCRASE TO MY NATION.! YA DIIIIIGGGGG.!
This is just not true. I live here and I know it is not the case. Yes, the Government supports disadvantaged childen, just as it supports old people, but there are no free cars, free petrol or free artificial insemination from moronic donors. Oh, and to Kenyara – thanks be to God that you live several thousand miles away from us.
Hi,
Nicely said. Being a parent of a disabled child, with no planning for that intended, commend you for your maturity.
i am student and the majior thing is that i am disabled my foot is like footbal i do not describe my disability in words if you want i send picture of my foot. i am froom pakistan i am belonging to a poor family we are 4 brothers and 4 sisters we do not take education rightly please help me in my problem or send money for me.
im sorry i have a disabled child and i would give anything and i mean anything for my son to be normal !! how can anyone want there child to be disabled ??????????????
my son has a physical disablity and yes i get dla (disabled living allowance) for my son.
i do think the system is wrong though as my friend gets it also for a daugther who is just naugthly at school and plays up and to be honest a lack of proper parenting !!!
but as to say people r wanting disabled children is wrong, no person would want that ! like u said a child that has the iq of a veg, will grow into a adult which they will still have to look after ! no one but a very sick sad person would WANT a disabled child..!!!
this topic has just proven to me how ignorant americans really are, i know a family that has help from the goverment because her son is disabled and you can see how it helps, it helps pay for things a woman with an able child wouldnt due to expensive care and treatment here, a family or single parent will reccive free care for things that are just way to expensive to be expected to come from there own pocket,if your going to criticise anything criticise the system, helping the elderly and disabled is about the only good thing theyve done for our country, americans can s*** b****
I dont think its funny nd its hard work I have two disable kids and um struggling everyday i dont have a job um disable me and my husband going thru problems,i just lost my house to a house fire in august.now me and my 6kids live in a two bedroom mobile home now if they giving out help i need some
It’s no wonder the world agrees that the Americans are stupid. The article & comments left are among the most ignorant & I’ll informed i’ve ever read. How do you honestly suppose one creates a disabled child? You people make me sick. I am so proud to be from the UK where people in need of additional help due to circumstances outwith their control are given just that. Trust me, it’s not money for nothing. It ensures the families of disabled children are able to work to reach that child’s best potential.
Shame on you USA. Yet again you have embarrassed yourselves with your greedy, selfish attitudes.
Wow this is a shocking post and some of the comments on here are so dispicable that I honestly cannot believe they have been published. Why on earth a health site has something as ignorant and untrue as this online is beyond me, and why they have allowed such rude, racist and ignorant comments is even worse.
I have to agree with Wes, this article is a blatant lie and I have forwarded a link to this website to Dr Patel, I doubt his quote is accurate or even existant – that is if the doctor even exists. I am also incredibly shocked at the amount of horrible comments seemingly implying that disability is something to profit from or laugh at. Grow up!
