BS. I was born 34 years ago. I was 2 months premature. I've had CP since birth and lost 80% of my hearing in both ears by the time I turned 6. Aside from that, I'm pretty damn healthy and fortunate to have lived a helluva lot longer than the doctors expected me to 34 years ago.
My 8 year old daughter has severe brain damage from an illness at 6 weeks old. On a scale of 0-10, she's a 5 on the amount of brain damage.
She can walk, run, and swim. She one of the top math students in her class. Her doctors can't believe that she isn't in a wheelchair.
She does have problems. She has severe speech and language problems and it does affect her reading and writing. She'll never talk normal, but she understands everything.
Looking at her, you'd never know that there is anything wrong with her.
With the correct therapies, many kids with disabilities can do so much. They can become very productive members of society.
I'm glad your doing well!
Good for you. But there are those who would say that because that half have disabilities, we should have just let you die or aborted you 34 years ago. You would have been life unworthy of life. "We should recognize the limits of medicine" and let you "die with dignity" The fascist murderers, these sultans of death, are real worried about medical technology making the arguments in favor of the practice of abortion obsolete.
God bless you and Bill Porter!
