Dan, wait a minute, if you've been reading my posts, you'll know I'm quite conservative leaning.
When my older twin sisters, and I, were all born blind, there were people who tried to convince my mother to abort my younger brother. "you really wanna risk having another blind child? Why would you intentionally bring another blind child into the world?" This is the kind of stuff that was said to her. Maybe that helps clarify where I was going with that.
