<<Stephen Drake is a person with "invisible" disabilities that are related to a brain injury he experienced at birth.>> notdeadyet.org "Real analytical capability you selected there." <<He obtained his Master's Degree in Special Education from Syracuse University in 1991. In 1992, he enrolled in the doctoral program at the same university.>> The only one demonstrating a distinct lack of intellectual rigor is you "Honey". Yours was classic Ad Hominem argumentation and the cheapest shot I have seen in a very long time. It really looks bad on you. "that does affect the validity of the opinions expressed by their author. Whether YOU like it or not." No, it does not affect them in the least. His arguments either stand or fall on their own merits. Unless you can show a factual or logical error then what he says is completely valid. For instance he cites "The March 10 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine" where two Dutch Doctors; "Dr's. Verhagen and Sauer announced that a survey had found that, contrary to Dutch law, some infants with severe disabilities have been euthanized." The solution they proposed was not to ban the practice but to legalize it. The children being murdered are not terminally ill they have Downs Syndrome and Spina Bifida which are not life threatening. Now you may think that killing disabled people for nothing more than convenience is a great Societal advance, but if inability to think clearly is one of the criteria for making selections then watch out, because they are coming for you next.
