Entry: The UN gets "disability rights" wrong Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/the_un_gets_disability_rights_wrong#25477 Post contents: "In short, their goal is to make disability essentially invisible. Anyone who holds this vision as his ideal either believes that the fragility of the human body is actually eradicable—in other words, that men are gods or will be soon—or believes that human fragility is so terrifying that we must make every conceivable effort to avoid confronting it." Isn't this what progress is all about? Couldn't you pick *any* human progression - hell, modern medicine - that makes life better and defame it for making life less... "natural" or "as God intended" or "reminding us of our mortality"? I dare you to look at a paraplegic and say "we're not signing this because we don't want you to feel immortal." Sent at: 2008 09 06
