There is a good article in the most recent New Yorker about a boy who was born with a terrible birth defect, he only has one eye, and his fingers were not separated, and so on. The doctors and nurses wanted to let him die, and his family stuck up for him, and he's had something like 32 surgeries, and it turns out his intelligence is in the gifted range. But he looks so strange that people just blurt out awful things, everywhere he goes. But the people who know him have had their spirts and compassion enlarged by knowing him, including the neighbor kids.

It's written by his aunt, I think it's worth reading.
