Iyt depends why they can't feed themselves, if it is due to physical 
problems, they proably can be rehabilitated.  There are people who are 
productive using a computer with a puff stickor similar device. What has 
to happen is to be aware of the skills the person with a disability has 
and adapt the environment so that those skills can be utilized. A square 
pweg may not fit in a round hole, but thge hole can be adapted.  Don't 
write off the potential of anyone to be a valued member of society,
