I think Helmut is absolutely right. People are not created (born)
equal: mentally, socially, physically... Such a formulation has nothing
to do with racism. It is a pure fact and reality.
For instance, one of the brothers was born as handsome and intelligent
creature, the other one was born as extremely ugly and unintelligent
being... Are they equal? Of course, they are not.
It is quite different thing if we say that all humans should be treated
fare, indiscriminately and in accordance with the humanistic ideas of
the modern world.
Nevertheless, the treatment, that appeared to be correct and most human
for a mentally ill person, could be the worst nightmare for the healthy
and unimpaired man.
