Hey, everyone's entitled to an opinion.  But I'll give those who are 
actually handicapped taking something like the premise behind this film a 
bit more credence when they stand out and say that the premise of the 
film is flawed because it makes the *assumption* (and therein lies the 
problem) that all people who are handicapped *want* to be "made whole" 
and feel inferior to fully-abled people.

The message that is being received by some in that community is "if 
you're handicapped, you're not a whole person" - and if I were 
handicapped, I'd find that suggestion offensive as well.
