With Darwin's idea of natural selection it is said that anyone that has a defect of any kind (mental or physical) would die because of the environment and that is natural selection at it's finest. In other words nature would weed them out, for example blind people would get hit by cars and handicap people wouldn't be able to get out of their houses and therefor they would die because they are not fit enough to live. They are only alive because of the people that are fit enough to take care of them and feel guilty enough to help them. In his theory he thinks that by us helping those that are not fit to live on their own that we are messing with the natural selection process and that is wrong. But there is a hiccup in this theory; no human can live on their own, we need help from one another to survive no matter how fit we are. Without someone taking care of us when we were born we would die within a couple hours. We're not like crocodiles who as soon as they are born they run from the nest because their mother sees them as a source of food. I would say that we're pretty luck in the sense that our mothers don't want to eat us as soon as we're born.
