Was just watching a documentry on the Amish. They have a higher than average incidence of birth defects that are probably a result of inbreeding.
Their philosophy on the individuals that have these problems is that this is "God's way of teaching the community". They feel that this is an instructional moment from above to teach them patience and tolerance.

There is no longer a problem. He's someone elses problem now.
Schlep must feel like a great weight has been lifted from his shoulders.
