It's amazing ...I really enjoyed reading your post. It's amazing how many women abort their pregnancy when they find out that they might be carrying a child with a disability. Since being in your class I have a new found respect for people with disabilities and the parents and caretakers that raise them. They are human and having feelings just like all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825243.post-25154881524850496952009-02-13T08:10:00.000-08:002009-02-13T08:10:00.000-08:00Those articles sound fascinating, and useful for m...Those articles sound fascinating, and useful for my thesis work. Could you possibly send me the citations for them? My university doesn't subscribe to the journal of Religion, Disability, and Health, but I can get them through inter-library loan if I have the citation.

How far from suggesting/encouraging mothers to abort babies who will be born with disability is to compellng them to do so, or discarding infants who have the misfortune to be the "wrong" gender, race, or what ever? <BR/><BR/>The problem is ignorance. People read and believe things they read or see about someone who "suffers" from a disability. I know many people with disabilities, and apart from some who may feel physical pain as a consequense of their disability, the only suffering they experience comes from those who arrogantly marginalize, even dismiss, their humanity. <BR/><BR/>I hope you find a way to get your questions asked, Jeff, and I hope I can be of some help. <BR/><BR/>It is situations like these when you realize that there are some ideas so foolish you just have to spend along time in grad school to learn how to think like that. My grandfather would have listened to the challenges of your review board and casually remarked, "There's room for alot of grain at the top of that silo."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
