Unfortunately, most people seem to feel this way. They think it's necessary for science to demonstrate biological equivalence in order for equality to take place (e.g. male vs. female). This is nonsense; an idea that needs to be erradicated, particularly because equality of the cognitively disabled cannot exist in such a framework.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-20303860952479606982007-10-20T22:18:00.000+01:002007-10-20T22:18:00.000+01:00Thanks Joe & Sharon, I hadn't noticed the Watson "...Thanks Joe & Sharon, I hadn't noticed the Watson "endorsement" on the Autism Speaks site.

Thanks for writing this.<BR/><BR/>Watson has insulted every member of my immediate family with his rantings, (he's made lots of misogynistic statements too.) He has been saying these things for years now. So many people have jumped to his defence over the past week, saying that those who disagree with him should 'prove' that he's wrong, attack the arguments, not the man. Well that's fair enough, but he's the one making the extraordinary claims so it's up to him to provide evidence that it's true.<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the quote from Watson on the <A HREF="http://www.autismspeaks.org/inthenews/wrights_cold_spring_harbor.php" REL="nofollow">Autism Speaks</A> page,<BR/><BR/>'Said Watson, “Autism is the worst thing that can happen to a family.” '<BR/><BR/>Yep, that's right. Your child likes trains a lot, or flaps when she's happy, or doesn't speak until he's 8 or has a real love of rocks. And that is the worst thing that can happen, worse than child abduction or fatal illness or drug addiction or- anything really.<BR/><BR/>It's a horrible thing to say, and that organisation have it displayed on their page, with no indication that they disagree.Sharon McDaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550156204691696968noreply@blogger.com
