Oh look, the way-right wing is trying to use arguments from disabled rights activism. It would be cute if it weren't so stupid. And insulting. And, in this case, embarrassing for us all.

Also, Hawking wasn't born with his handicaps, he was diagnosed with ALS a long time ago. He was born able-bodied.

From the page: "From the Investor's Business Daily:
People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.
There's just one tiny little problem with this: Stephen Hawking was born and raised in the UK and has lived there all his life. He teaches at Cambridge. That's in the UK. This ranks up there with the French not having a word for entrepreneur. "
