Would George and Leannie survive in todays world better than in their world?

Now and days people who are mentally challenged  have better care. We have nurses, medicine that is more advanced at least. People now and days have a better understanding for people who are mental and their justice is better than back in the day.

During the 1990's 'til today we have nurses who stay and take care or watch over people who are challenged, if they don't have a family. If Leannie was around during this time period. I believe his life would have been a little better. In my opinion the time period Leannie is living in probably would put him in jail, or in an asylum. Since we have more sympathy for people like that, we wouldn't be so hard on him. We now have nurses who try and help them. George would be happy because he wouldn't have to worry about Leannie ruining thing's for him.

Medicine is such an big evolution during out time period. When most people are sick, many believe that drugs is the way to go. Sometimes but not in all situations. If Leannie were to take drugs, he would probably control not doing everything that pop's up in his head and actually think before he act. Yet another way life could be easier for George and for Leannie. George would be able to hold a job with Leannie by his side and both could be successful. But in different way's.

Last but not least  people's sympathy are bigger than people back then If it was on the news that a big man touching on a girls dress you'll think "creepy". But when they announce that he is challenged. People  would be like "okay he can't help it". But he still needs help. Unlike during their time they would have thought of him as a threat. Because he's big and can not control himself.  So he wouldn't have no say so and throw him in jail or an insane asylum. During the year 2009 I believe he has more justice.

To sum it all up. If Leannie was in our time I think life would be a little easier for Leannie and George. Today we have Nurses who take care of them when you can't at the time. Or more people have more of an understanding. That they wouldn't think that he is the way he is on purpose. Last which should be the last thing people should have to come to is to give him or her medicine. It would help them but it would also become a habit for them.  So don't make that a choice, unless you really have to. After reading this do you to think that Leannie would had survive in this time period than in his own?
