James,
Read or don't read what I post to the list. Form your own thoughts
and opinions and express them as you like. I got the email and
thought it would be worthy of some comment....and apparently I was
right ;)
For the record, I like who I am and certainly don't think I am
DEFECTIVE...One of the reasons the article title made me react so
vehemently "No Way!" However, I was intrigued and read on and
perhaps there is a grain of salt to a genetic connection that may
make conditions such that CP COULD occur. Certainly doubt it would
ever be found to be like Down's Syndrome or other genetic diseases.
