I would take that a step further. I believe that most people who are mentally retarded/ severely disabled and that cannot serve a function (such as research) should be euthanized, as I see them a drain on limited resources. I honestly don't see how the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I've worked in a retirement home, and the condition that some of the residents are in it seems cruel to leave them like that. I also feel that the people who advocate against euthanasia are just in denial that will happen to them, and a cure will come along and save them.

That's funny. I would argue that if one can't find a suitable research agenda for even the most retarded of people, then they aren't trying hard enough.
