The relevance of your expertise in this field is that without either medical knowledge or personal experience, you don't have anything other than an opinion. I have personal experience as the father of a severely handicapped child who can't hold his head up or roll over. THAT makes my opinion worth reading to most but probably not you.

It's kind of like me going on a mid 20th century history thread and arguing my points. I would probably look foolish......

I give no credence to Jimmah. You and I agree on that.

While you and your son's situation may give you insights regarding convenience and treatment for children with disabilities, this thread also deals in part with the security and civil liberties of disabled people. Should I dismiss your reasoning because you are (presumably) not a lawyer? Of course not, that would be silly. Your opinion would be "worth reading" no matter if you were Justice Scalia or Joe Schmoe the plumber, so long as your opinion was based upon reasonableness and objectivity.

I am sorry about your son's condition and may God bless you and your family.
