Challenges and so-called disabilities often build character, teach acceptance, and instill resilience. They may even be correlated to creativity. Take Miles Davis. The pain of sickle cell drove him to drugs and drink. It may have even driven him to his death. It also, however, may have driven him to be the creative artist who could produce Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew. Would Miles Davis have been Miles Davis without sickle cell?

Very interesting argument. Though I'm not sure this would eliminate all challenges in life, so I'd net that it's worth doing.
