Same goes with the handicapped. Thank goodness there are so many kind and compassionate people who give their lives helping those less capable than others.
It's at the heart of the ethics of our new technoscience and it deserves a lot more serious and rational attention than it gets, in my opinion.

I'm sorry, but I have a huge problem with the way you lump the "handicapped" and lack of consciousness, to almost a dehumanizing manner. As if you need to be an angel to work with people with various disabilities; which in fact is one of the most dehumanizing things society has lumped in to that "group" of people.
