The first is of course through much care for the retarded baby's welfare. While it is true that healthcare is business, continuing to live and productivity are also business. Keynes noted that retarded babies were exempt from investment returns in education, technology, and infrastructure. They could not learn, they could not use complicated tools, and they could not participate in expanding infrastructure. They were, from his point of view, utterly worthless from their conception. Keynes' critics have argued that non-retarded babies could not do these things either, yet contend on the fact that retarded babies will not mature into productive and fulfilling adults.

abstract
  • The first is of course through much care for the retarded baby's welfare. While it is true that healthcare is business, continuing to live and productivity are also business. Keynes noted that retarded babies were exempt from investment returns in education, technology, and infrastructure. They could not learn, they could not use complicated tools, and they could not participate in expanding infrastructure. They were, from his point of view, utterly worthless from their conception. Keynes' critics have argued that non-retarded babies could not do these things either, yet contend on the fact that retarded babies will not mature into productive and fulfilling adults. The second represents a higher expectation of society for retarded babies to be treated as equals. Otherwise, the obstacles barring retarded babies from maturing into productive retarded adults are present and restraining. This, however, comprises of a very drastic, and as Keynes put it, "retarded societal attitude", as a workforce full of retards is a retarded workforce. The last, "beneficial", is not thought possible. Keynes even wrote, "I must confess that retarded babies are not beneficial to anyone. They lack utility, even as a commodity. They are a waste of life and of valuable resources. Retarded babies are worthless." Many contemporary economists agree. Keynes also pointed out the difference in attitudes among cultures. The most influential factor in how retarded babies affect an Eastern society is how the society perceives the usefulness or value of retarded babies in their economic participation. In the West, it's often a question of how much value most feel that the life of a retarded baby intrinsically holds. For example, many Americans believe that retarded babies are life which must be protected. Therefore, resources are devoted to improving the lives of retarded babies. Yet in China, many people feel that retarded babies produce nothing and simply consume, and thus no public efforts exist to improve or prolong their lives (especially if they're female).
