I understand where you're coming from, Meir, except that I'm not
comfortable with subjorgating the life of the mother to the fetus.  I think
that each case needs to evaluated by a panel rather than just the parents. 
But yeah, I remember the Baby Doe case and it was an appalling exercise in
choosing selfishness over life.

Maybe I wasn't clear?

I fwded to the list exactly as I agree with your sentiments completely.


 We ALL  have our individual potentials

And only ourselves to compete with

Have a great week.

scandal imho.

hello,

you were clear, if your comments applied to me, I took that opportunity 
to vent.

I was trying to say that psychiatrists are starting to write very very 
sharp commentary about disability rights.

are there any other doctors doing this?  if anyone has names of books, 
I'd appreciate it.

thanks,

Mary Katherine
