as much as it pains me to do so i have to agree. after Caring for disabled children for 6 years i know how hard it is to live as they do. They try hard but the parents don't have much say in the day to day activities as they grow up.. They're left with carers or voluntary groups because the parents can't cope.

If they're so interested in blindness why don't they blind themselves or deafen themselves. And when they refuse, ask them why. because lets face it, if they won't go through the same thing as they want their child to go through, then it can't be that good.
