You might not feel that way if it was you, or someone you loved, in that wheelchair!

You're wrong about that. Regardless of what happened to me, I would not expect the world to bend over backward to accommodate me. I would adapt myself. Likewise, if it happened to someone I loved, I would do everything I could to help that person, but I still wouldn't expect the rest of the world to stop just for me and mine. What I disagree with is the attitude that some people have which says that because something bad happened to them, the world owes them everything. Wrong. Even if you get paralyzed in a horrible, tragic accident, the world still doesn't owe you anything. Maybe your loved ones do, but the world doesn't.

Thanks for clarifying.

I don't see anything in this article that gives the impression that this particular young man thinks the world owes him a living, though. He seems to be working pretty good as a rocket scientist.
