The doctors thought my daughter might have feeding problems when she's born, and asked if we wanted to have her aborted because she 'may' have them. Sickening. (btw, she's a perfectly fine, noisy little darling  no feeding problems at all)
for or against them. Ack. |
well well, yeah exactly man!, thats the very reason,
Why aren't we, the general population, consulted on such things?
Sheesh, I swear this country sets laws and whatnot for you to obey, but it doesn't offer you the chance to vote
if you think about it, that exaclty why disabled people are getting hard out , academically and self-imposing their own wills to build their own organisation despite the lack of funds, they strive to actualise their philosophys in independent living, into the organisation called "Independent Living Inc" in America, and UK, Ken Davis did a lot of work into this.
and yes on slightly other angle, the fundamental logic of equal rights, presuppose the belief there is an expectation which representing bodys of public goods and welfare, this also implies like you said, consultation, but sadly the reality of the world is that, people in power dont not like differences, and they all confrom to the "imagnary solutions" of beauty and 'problems-free' but adding to this , the ideology of marketisation also introduced the concept which those in power and possession of resources and skills (lets say plastic surgery), they can command high premiums for anyone who wants to reap the 'benefit" the whole rest of society is the same, you got fashion, aittudes, homes, computers, entertainment, food, mobility (not just wheelchairs, but also who can go to where) is all tied up.........
im not slightly surprised that people in power just was to fuck us over rather than help us to get an even deal in life.
