If this is the case than Singer shouldn't be allowed as a non disabled to do research or speak about disability as he might fall into the same foucauldian error constructing.....and improving threir social status (ableism) at the expense of those who are in no position to research them straight back(disabled). . > parents often seem to be pitted against children, but when the sun goes > down- they're the ones who are left to raise the child, not a nameless > cohort of disability activists with an answer for everything. if it's just the parents who are left to raise the child without support than there is already something wrong and it's better to tackle that than to beat up on the disabled. Also a mother might raise the child but the child has to live the life so a mother is not in the same position as the disabled therefore ads I can't talk on behalf of mothers (as I am a man I can may be talk better on behalf of disabled (asuming that the mother is not disabled and I am.) > > Judy Singer > > > > > > > Dr. Gregor Wolbring Dept. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty of Medicine University of Calgary 3330 Hospital Drive NW Calgary, T2N 4N1 Alberta, Canada Phone 1403-220-5448 Fax 1-403-283-4740 eFax 1-603-761-3704 e-mail [log in to unmask] webpage: http://www.thalidomide.ca/gwolbring %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
