Hi Paul, I was fine until I was about 60 and had a couple of car accidents, now I have trouble with stairs. How would limiting my Catholic mother to one child and forcing her to abort any others have helped this? How do you know there are not too many disabled people in China? Seems that they have some, 29 million google hits on the topic: http://www.cdpf.org.cn/english/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/jul/22/china.theobserver http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/05/AR2008090503410.html http://www.humanrights-china.org/newsrdgz/disabled.html The last link puts the figure at 60 million. Is that "too many"? -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
