So...bionic legs are okay to dump obscene amounts of research money into, but creating good quality, affordable wheelchairs is not.
My dear friend Claire at life with a severely disabled child has written a provocative post on disability in response to a statement she read in a larger article about the terrible airplane show accident in Nevada this weekend. My mind was once again opened and challenged when I read this piece -- I urge you to do so, also.
Read it here.
Thanks darlin'.
ReplyDeleteWow, Elizabeth. This is hard. See- I never in a million years would have seen that slant on the report of a "disabled person" who had "overcome disability."
ReplyDeleteBut of course, my life has not pushed me to that place where I would.
I have to think about this. Thanks for opening my mind by sending me to read the post.
