I think you are really misunderstanding what I am saying. I am not saying there is any sort of inequality on human scale between the "disabled" and the non-disabled. I am also not saying that handicapped people lack consciousness, just that they certainly do communicate or see the world the way a lot of non-handicapped people do. To survive in this world, they do require compassionate and ethical communities to take care of them. That's a great part about being human. We don't operate on a survival of the fittest ethical paradigm, we protect and help the weak in our society. And yes, I know all of us are weak in some way, that's why it is a two-way street.
