Maybe there should be a dedicated disability carnival about Peter Singer's article.
Check out my blog entry at Bad Cripple.
Frida, I am torn on this idea--part of it is good but the bad side is does Singer really need more publicity?
Disability rights gets scant attention as it is.
Thanks for your comments, Bill and Frida. Will add your post, Bill.
Maybe you're right, Bill; but I just don't want the disability perspective to be unheard if people latch on to his ideas. I doubt the disability perspective will get much representation in the general media. As Yanub points out in her blog, there's already a 2-year waiting list for Medicare when people go on disability--we're *already* on health care rationing, that's what Singer misses. I know a lot of people paying for wheelchairs out of pocket.
Thanks for the great links, Ruth.
