My daughter is 13 and cannot speak, yet has the interest to explore sexual discovery anywhere and everywhere to match that of any 16 yr old. She is physically developing like a 13 yr old, but she is only as tall as a 6 yr old. She has a violent nature when she is upset, and unfortunatly she is as strong as an ox. <BR/>So, according to you, your O.I. is the same as my daughters D.S. You are saying that where you can express yourself with your ability to SPELL, TYPE, READ, TALK, cook for yourself, or any of the other things you can do on your own, makes your disability the same as my daughter who cant talk, write, spell, read, or anything else that a normal 6 yr old can do.<BR/>You, were raised by normal parents, I assume. Do you have a child with disabilities? Have you had to play 20 questions to find out where they hurt or why they are crying. How about trying to teach a child with the mental capacity of a 4 yr old why she is bleeding and that it is perfectly normal. Try explaining to parents when she hits their child that she dosent understand that hitting is wrong when their child is bleeding from the nose or they have a black eye. I don't think being disabled gives you the right to judge the parents of a disaled child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-46816518891780504902007-05-25T23:28:00.000+01:002007-05-25T23:28:00.000+01:00In fact, based on the excuses the parentsand their...In fact, based on the excuses the parentsand their supporters have used, surely one day somebody could justify treating children with Downs Syndrome?<BR/><BR/>Thats if they ever get to be born in the first case...give the doctors an inch and they take a yard, 90% of fetuses diagnosed with DS are aborted "on medical advice". Try telling that to my son (with DS), who attends mainstream secondary school and enjoys rock climbing.<BR/><BR/>Great article.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343162632559783615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-72434834260752342542007-02-10T00:11:00.000+00:002007-02-10T00:11:00.000+00:00Wow, I was just about to write about this myself (...Wow, I was just about to write about this myself (as soon as I have time). There are so many things wrong with what happened to Ashley...<BR/><BR/>The thing that worries me, is about a British family wanting it to be done to their child. If this is allowed to happen to a human being who apparently has the mind of say, a three month old (as it is claimed she has), then what about a child of a four month old? In fact, based on the excuses the parentsand their supporters have used, surely one day somebody could justify treating children with Downs Syndrome?<BR/><BR/>The bottom line of this case seems to be that a human being with less intelligence, or awareness of the world apparently seems less entitled to their human rights than a "normal" person. Surely we should be adapting our society to take care of everybody, not pumping somebody with a disability full of chemicals to make them less of a burden upon us.<BR/><BR/>That's just my opinion anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-49170425992503255162007-01-18T22:59:00.000+00:002007-01-18T22:59:00.000+00:00Thank you so much for this article.

I've heard a lot of women don't menstruate when they're on it, too. The whole thing sickens and disgusts me. Not only are they denying that their daughter is a woman, they're denying her basic human integrity. With apologies to Mike Meyers, their "pillow angel" is neither a pillow nor an angel.

The disabled person never gets any say in the decisions it's alwyas the non-disabled people. I think it's time someone spoke out be it by voice, sign language, or whatever.
