"retard" is not PC. And using "mental retardation" as an insult isn't PC. There are all kinds of mental retardation it can be cause by many things. some come with debilitating physical illness, others don't. Some really limit the quality of life and independence people have. Others live lives that are probably more rewarding than you or I.
The trouble is there a big die toss involved. You don't know how severe it will be.
What I have noticed is that when people with forms of mental retardation choose to have kids they often want to avoid passing it on to their kids. Often, but not always. I think it's right to be supportive of choices that favor and those that avoid selection.
