Given a choice nobody would prefer to be blind, admittedly not even the lady who has written the article inquestion. Then, isn't it strange that given a choice and a reasonable assurance and affordability, they say, they would prefer not to take the advantage of becoming sighted-even partially!! Let us not confuse the things. It is one thing to live successfully as a blind person, but it is totally another to euphemize it as a state not fraught with any disadvantages--be those disadvantages inherent in the condition or man made! Words like identity, etc. are hollow semantic phrases. Andd, what is the identity of even a fully functioning/productive blind person in sighted world? Moreover, as said earlier, there is no substitute for sight, and a fully functioning/productive blind person is either a myth or a rarest of the rare species who fortunately or accidentally finds herself or himself bestowed with fortune and a field absolutely fitted to his/her working. Still it would be a vocational functionality, and granted he/she has noble family as not to make him aware of his shortcomings, still community would not spare him/her the crunch. And, for this, either family/vocational world/community is not to be blamed only. Sight is the norm and lack of it is not, even though it is desirable to make it less fraught with disadvantages either by human assistance or by technology or sometimes by reasonable modifications. I am afraid if I have not been able to communicate clearly. I wanted to write on the subject, but did not wish to stir the hornet's nest.

Identity and all that sounds good in the ideal world. Although I have adjusted reasonably well to blindness, nothing can replace the total and absolute independence that sight grants a person. There is simply no substitute for it. Geetha - Original Message - From: Subramani L [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 10:47 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Reflections on Becoming Blind Fantastic story. After reading this, I wanted to forget about our agreed etiquette regarding on and off topics and wanted to express my feelings on this one. I think the whole thing sounds extremely honest and seem to reflect my own experiences of becoming blind from the same condition. When I reacted indifferently to my mom's suggestion that I must seriously consider gene therapy to restore my sight, she was shocked and couldn't understand how such an important thing as getting back my sight failed to evince a serious response from me. I told her blindness has become my identity in the last 15 years and I am not all that comfortable shedding that identity. I told her it offered a fresh and a totally different perspective to life and so on, much on the same lines as Becky has described in her article, but the problem with the so-called able-bodied people is that they somehow fail to see the other side of things. Also, I don't know how many of you agree with me if I say this: when we are blind, the world wants us to follow their weird and convoluted understanding of morality. They, for instance, can't digest a blind person smoking. Forget about the health implications of smoking or drinking, but most people think it is utterly wrong as a habit for a blind person to smoke, even if he enjoys this activity with his sighted friends who are more than willing to light their cigarette for them or pour their drinks. As a smoker myself until three years ago, I used to learn from my sighted friends that I attracted disgusted looks from sighted strangers (who themselves would have gathered near that Tea shop to light a cigarette), whenever I smoked. As a teenager losing sight, smoking then was a way of gaining acceptance in the mainstream world that never used to treat me on par. Only after realising the serious health implications as a thirty-something, did I ever quit smoking and drinking. I am not recommending this to anyone as ways of gaining acceptance into the mainstream world, but am merely trying to point out the weirdness in thinking among the

Re: [AI] Fw: India: New career options for visually challenged.
Friday, August 3 2007 Dr. Manoj Kumar Chief Commissioner Disabilities. GOVT of India, New Delhi. Dear Dr. Manoj Kumar, Sub- Petition under PD Act 1995 for appropriate and immediate action. I Victor John Cordeiro, hereby file this petition to you under Persons With Disabilities Act 1995 with regard to the most unfortunate, shocking, deadly, brutal and inhuman incident which instigated 11 Disabled People to commit suicide and which led to the very unfortunate death of 5 disabled people. I would like to bring the following detailed news to your kind attention so that you can initiate appropriate and immediate action about to make justice to the victims of this unfortunate and barbaric incident. This incident cannot be ignored and violation of human rights of people with disabilities cannot be excused any more. Herewith I am attaching the following note reported by news for your kind perusal and action. Look forward for prompt and positive response. Thank you very much in anticipation for your appropriate and timely action. With warm regards, Victor. Police probe TV channels' role in death by poison of five protestors http://in.rd.yahoo.com/expressnews/SIG=11738n0j1/**http%3A%2F%2Fwww.expressindia.com%2F By IE Thursday August 2, 02:20 AM Amid police claims of a media-instigated self-poisoning, three more of the 11 disabled people who were hospitalised yesterday in Varanasi after allegedly consuming a substance died today, taking the number of dead to five. Five other are recovering while one Rajesh Chaurasia is battling for his life at the BHU Hospital here. Varanasi police today arrested two persons - Namo Upadhyay and Ravi Nath alias Ravinder Nath - on the charge of providing poison, and said TV channels Star News and IBN7 are being probed for their role in the incident. Both the channels have also been named in the FIR lodged with Laksha police station. The five dead have been identified as Rajesh, Tribhuvan, Mangaroo, Guru Deo and Ram Chandra. The 11 shop owners allegedly consumed a poisonous substance in Gurubagh area of Varanasi on Tuesday in an apparent suicide attempt. Fear of losing their makeshift kisoks to an ongoing anti-encroachment drive by the municipal corporation was said to be the reason but the local police chief, S P Shirodkar, told The Indian Express that the incident might have been instigated by reporters of the two news channels. Shirodkar, who is Varanasi's Senior Superintendent of Police, said the police had registered an FIR on the basis of a complaint lodged by one Ram Lal Kesari. The FIR says one tablet each was given to all the physically challenged persons who had gathered at a spot in Gurubagh area to protest the anti-encroachment drive. Shirodkar had earlier told Express that the shopkeepers were told they were consuming a mild intoxicant and were assured of wide media coverage. They were also told that they would be unconscious for just three to four hours, he said. District Magistrate Ms Veena told Express the police are examining the role of both channels in this episode. They have live footage of the incident. One member of the channel team is a relative of one arrested person, she said. The victims undergoing treatment at the BHU hospital today backed Shirodkar's version of what happened yesterday. They told Express they had consumed the tablets thinking it was a medicine to make them unconscious for a few hours. I though the tablet was a sedative... I have five daughters. My good friend Tribhuvan died today, said Muhhammed Nasik, a physically challenged person. Khalidur Rahman is not even a kiosk owner. I am a beggar. But I enjoyed the company of kisok owners, Rahman, who is disabled in both his legs, said. Asked about his decision to swallow the tablet, Rehman said: One person persuaded me to consume the tablet, saying it would prompt the government to give me money. Meanwhile, Star News correspondent Pankaj Srivastava said the administration was framing his channel. Everyone knew for the last two days that they would be committing suicide. I cannot understand why only we are being named when many more people were present at the spot, Srivastava said in Lucknow. Star News correspondent in Varanasi, Shailesh, said: Our only fault is that we reached the spot early and informed senior police officers about it. The state bureau chief of IBN7, Abhishek Upadhyaya, said, It is wrong to frame any correspondent in this case. Victims had sent letters to all district chiefs of police and administration and everyone was aware of their plans. - Original Message - From: pamnani [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 5:35 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Fw: India: New career options for visually challenged.

Re: [AI] The blind diplomat

The fact that he has not actually seen the Caribbean island or any of the places on five continents where he has been posted has not stymied him. I necessarily listen more than a sighted person would, he said. If Im walking along a street, I can tell there is a building next to me because of the echoes of my feet or my cane. A blind person sees the world differently from a sighted person. Our impressions are no less valid. Mr. Rabby, who lost his sight at the age of 8 because of detached retinas, is the State Departments first blind diplomat. It is an achievement he fought for in the 1980s, passing three written entrance exams and two oral exercises along the way. But even then, the State Department barred him from the diplomatic corps. You dont ask a blind person to drive a bus or be a bank teller, George S. Vest, who was the personnel director for the Foreign Service, explained in a 1988 interview. There are jobs which are dangerous or unsuitable for them. And in the Foreign Service, were full of jobs like that. The department contended that diplomats, blind ones included, had to be able to work anywhere in the world and to work with confidential documents without any outside aid. In addition, State Department officials said, diplomats had to be able to pick up on nonverbal cues, such as winks or nods, which can sometimes have more meaning than the words being uttered. But Mr. Rabby illustrated another essential quality of diplomats: perseverance. No international treaty has ever been decided on the basis of a wink or a nod, he retorted, after hiring a lawyer and challenging the State Departments policy, which dated from the 18th century. Aiding Mr. Rabbys effort was a federal law barring the government from disqualifying prospective employees because of disabilities. Eventually, after the news media and Congress found out about his case, the State Department reversed course. The new policy would consider disabled diplomats on a case-by-case basis. Mr. Rabby became case No. 1. In 1990, he was off to London, where he was posted at the embassy there as a junior political officer. He moved next to Pretoria, South Africa, where [6]Nelson Mandela had just been freed from prison and where Mr. Rabby witnessed the countrys first free elections. It was one of the most stimulating experiences in my life, he said, noting that he was one of the embassys election observers. People ask me how I can assess a political rally if I cant see it, he said. I tell them that I listen to the crowd and to the speakers. You can sense what is going on. He spent time in Washington at the State Departments Bureau of Human Rights, and in postings in Lima and New Delhi. During a stint at the United States Mission to the [7]United Nations, he helped write resolutions dealing with literacy, global health and the rights of the disabled. His final posting he retired at the end of June at the mandatory retirement age of 65 was to Port of Spain, where he became an expert in Trinidads political system, which has long been divided between parties, one predominantly

The HR firm is bound to keep privacy of the identity of the employer. This is done, because the employer does not want to be flooded by applications. That is the reason why they engadge these agencies. If you have any issue with HR consultancy firms, you should take it up legally. There is no point targeting this agency in particular. If members feel that such information should not be put in the list, this can be considered. However, it is those job seekers who will end up loosing on it. Members can express their opinion on this.

Despite you knew the whole detail you only tried to outsmart us rather than telling the name of the college. Many people are saying it is normal procedure of consultancy not to name the college. All this is true as far as private sector is concerned but it is not viable for the Government sector. Why all of you failed to understand this simple fact that if someone is appointed through such a procedure his or her appointment shall be subject of scrutiny or even a legal opposition. Few people have said that we are well placed and harming the interest of those who need employment. I am really happy to tell you people who are writing here mail most of us are seeking job and it actually harms our interest if we don't know name of the college. I have respect for Anubhuti but it doesn't mean whatever is going wrong I will not raise my voice.

Hello sir, Nobody here has expressed the opinion that information regarding job or career for the visually challenged should not be posted. We have been saying that, since the job in this particular case is of the government sector, there should be more clarity. Explanations given about the way HR consultancies function by you and other members of the list are absolutely fine, as far as corporate bodies are concerned. but, Government bodies like colleges, in fact, must be literally flooded with our applications. They have channels to advertise their posts and are supposed to advertise them through those channels. It is frustrating that our motives are being misunderstood and misinterpreted constantly. We haven't blamed anyone. There is nothing inapropriate, insensitive or illegal if we are just demanding the name of the college, if it has advertised the post. Nor did we intend to target a particular consultancy. Our points were applicable to anyone who wants to help us by providing information and opportunity. It is only because they did not address our issues even after we raised it, the debate became hot and target became unwantedly focussed on Anubhuti. Nobody wanted this at the beginning. To sum up, there should not be any two opinion on the issue that everyone concerned should continue his/her participation in the list. But, if we or anyone feel that some more information is needed, it is our right to put it on the list as well, particularly information concerning government jobs. To wish us away saying that we are playing blame game or setting some local issue is, well, beyond my comprehention.

Is the number of times a vacancy is posted an issue ? b) shocking to realise the utter lack of transparency in such notices ... we have a standard process of releasing / advertising vacancies and do not differentiate between private /public/NGO/self employment or any such category . If someone has a problem with our processes, too bad ..we can't help it . c) Nor do i see any logic whatsoever behind the manner in which the Consultancy, in these cases, is insisting on being a mediator between the college and the applicants. The logic my friend, is very simple... to reach out to as many eligible candidates as possible, so that they get the benefit ... no hidden motive ... probably you missed this very obvious logic because you were busy trying to figure out a more ulterior / clandestine logic where none existed . d) In a job like this, needless to say, we have a well laid out procedure in which the institution advertises and the applicants apply and appear for the interview, rather than sending his/her resumés to any NGO or consultancy. . Nowhere in the email have I asked candidates not to send their candidature against similar vacancies advertised in other sources and route their CVs only to us. The institutes know better than us and I know for a fact , are advertising as per the requirements etc but I see no harm in case they are trying to increase the # of relevant resumes against an open position . I am amazed and appalled at the level of arguments raised ... it is quite painful to note that we have people within our community who miss the bigger picture and insist on spending time and energy on irrelevant and petty issues Everyone has the right to put their point across ... but isnt it possible to do so in the manner of a healthy discussion rather than presuming foul play and documenting accusations ...We do not claim to be doing anything great ... our efforts are at a very small scale .. the idea is only and only to contribute to the cause of employability of people with disabilities.

Re: [AI] Fw: VACANCY - Lecturers - English, Hindi and Commerce - South Delhi
We definitely have to oppose the process of appointment where there is no transparency and people are appointed through private consultancies. Here, it is always a likelihood that soon there could be initiation of rampant corruption in appointments for public posts where there is an involvement of such agencies. Here, I must clarify that I am not doubting the integrity of person like Anubhuti or any other such person. These are not personal remarks. I am talking about the procedural flaws which are likely to hit the interest of Physically Challenged persons. Where there is a public post, Its salary is paid out of people's taxes and it is required that a transparent procedure should be followed in such posts by notifying the public at large. We must talk to the VC against such practice. I know your approach is emotional to the issue. But think of the situation where such posts would be filled up with the help of private recruiting agencies, then what would b the fate of people who do not kater to the demands of such agencies. those who are interested in discussion could write to me personally or call up .

Re: [AI] good news P.H.
I am sorry I differ badly on this issue. There are more than 8000 teachers in Delhi University and the participation of the PCs is very low. The colleges are governed by the governing bodies who in order to fulfill their political ambitions make political appointments in the name of acadmic considerations. The merit is of little consideration in such appointments. The peculiarity of the process lies in the fact that interview is given 100% weightage Against the Supreme Court ruling in Ajay Hasia v. Union of India. Where SC said that No where the interview should be given more than 10 to 15% weightage while making any kind of appointments. This step of Delhi University is a big step forward towards administrative reforms. The colleges should not be left with such decisive recruitment responsibilities where the Principle of Natural justice are set aside and regime of personal fancy and discrmination dominates. No where in India such a powerful post is filled up like this. There should be some independent agency to fill up such prestigious post which are of first class nature. Friends if the process is centralized for physically challenged persons, then the pure responsibility could be fixed with the Delhi University to which around 85 colleges are affiliated. then Pips will not be going door to door against discrmination rampant in this system Infect than even the general candidates would also demand that their recruitment should be centralized and there should be transparency in it. Herein, the gold medalists would not be at the mercy of our much known politicians and corrupt academicians. As it is a known fact that education segment in India is one of the most corruption prone area, where there is a need for immediate reforms. May be these reforms would come due to the implementation of reservation policy for VCPs. In fact we should give a stress for making the appointment process more transparent and based on merits of the candidates not on the manipulative traits. The members are requested to express freely their opinion on the matter so that same could be conveyed to the VC of Delhi Univ. With regards, Vip Dr. Vipin K.

Re: [AI] JNU: No Separate Reservations for the Disabled
Dear Mahesh and other friends, Thanks for taking up the issue with utmost vigor. Vice Chancellor of any university can not give irresponsible statement like this. Please do let me know what is the source of information for such remarks. He spoke casually or it was reported in some newspaper or magazine. There are states where there is more than fifty percent reservation. He is nobody to interpret law. This is the function of judiciary and should be left to it . His discriminatory statement should be condemned with equal force. The three percent reservation for physically challenged is already in force. Whereas reservation for Obis is yet to be a reality. If at all there would be a question mark that would be on 27 percent reservation for OBCs not on the three percent reservation for Physically Challenged persons. If he at all makes any discrimination based on such personal presumptions he could be dragged to court. If you could get me the source for the same I could direct such remarks to the knowledge of CCPD. With regards, Vip Dr. Vipin K.

Re: [AI] JNU: No Separate Reservations for the Disabled
thanks for the information! We will lodge our protest against the irresponsible statement of the vice chancellor in a lawful manner. I wished he could have talked of doing away with the reservation of SC and St, by now he would have have to relinquished his prestigious office in no time. People think that they could make any insensitive statement against the physically challenged and get away with it. I think CCPD is to some extent is also responsible for this. It is not able to get justice for the people for whom it is created. Visually Challenged Persons till now have not been able to open their bank account with usual facilities. The violence against the PCPs is going unabated. Before some days even Dean of colleges Delhi University also gave an irresponsible statement. Where she was sure that despite the three percent reservation, we don't have suitable candidates for the post of lectureship. In such circumstances how the allotted quota could be filled up by the colleges! These kinds of statements are really painful, especially for those who despite possessing astronomical qualification are still jobless or have to work against such jobs which are no where in match to their academic credentials. Despite so much of modernization and advancement, Physically challenged are still suffering from social and economic disabilities due to the horrible attitude of such people. Despite, my pressing environment, I could not resist writing to my brethren about such heinous remarks. My full support is with you all.

This is the function of judiciary and should be left to it . His discriminatory statement should be condemned with equal force. The three percent reservation for physically challenged is already in force. Whereas reservation for Obis is yet to be a reality.

[AI] Vision could be restored with bionic eyes
iTWire - Vision could be restored with bionic eyes Vision could be restored with bionic eyes By William Atkins Thursday, 03 May 2007 Researchers at the Harvard Medical School are looking into implanting electrodes within the brain to restore eyesight. Forget about having Bette Davis eyes (sung by Kim Carnes), you could have Steve Austin eyes (played by The Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors). U.S. medical researchers John S. Pezaris and R. Clay Reid at the Department of Neurobiology in Boston, Massachusetts' Harvard Medical School are studying electrical stimulation of the visual system so that in the future a prosthetic device could be used to restore sight in blind people. Their paper Demonstration of artificial visual percepts generated through thalamic microstimulation is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (online April 23, and in print on May 1, 2007). Within the paper, Pezaris and Reid talk about performing microstimulation on the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus of macaques (short-tailed monkeys). The lateral geniculate nucleus is the region of the thalamus that sends visual signals from the retina to the cerebral cortex. The thalamus is a pair of egg-shaped masses of matter located beneath each cerebral hemisphere of the brain. Current visual prosthetics use implants located behind the retina. These prosthetics stimulate nerve cells (retinal neurons) in order to generate visual sensations. However, only a partial map has been completed that would allow sight to be restored. In addition, sufficient numbers of nerve cells are not always available to restore vision after serious eye damage has occurred. The work of Pezaris and Reid has already showed that monkeys can be told where to look when their nerve cells are stimulated with the use of implanted electrodes in their thalamus. Such implants in humans may lead to the building of bionic eyes to restore vision. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

One could be criticized and praised but one can not be forcibly silenced about his convictions. If a member is raising his voice in some other group then that is upto the moderator of that particular group whether he wants to oppose the same or encourage such feelings. opinion is important not oppression.

Re: [AI] any order for VI to write exams through computer.
Delhi University has made a formal arrangement to this effect. I have been appearing for my law exams through computer only provided by the university Braille library. If some one wants to give his exams through computer he has to write an application to the examination controller forwarded by his college or department in advance. Likewise arrangement would be made for him. We are persuading the university authorities that exam could also be taken in audio format recorded at some centre especially for those who are not able to type. With regards, Vip Dr. Vipin K.

In fact, in my case, the university authorities gave me an option. I could have an amanuensis with 30 mins extra time or I could use the computer with no additional time. I opted for the latter and the experience has been very satisfying so far. On the other hand, there are certain universities which are infamous for their apathy.

[AI] I saw the light, says blind man with bionic eye
I saw the light, says blind man with bionic eye Joerg Michner in Tübingen, Germany, Sunday Telegraph Last Updated: 11:41pm BST 21/04/2007 For Daniel Brueck, it truly looked like the light at the end of the tunnel. First his eyes could distinguish brightness from darkness, and then, slowly the shapes of objects in a room. It was the first time the 27-year-old had seen anything since going completely blind six years ago. Mr Brueck, a student from Heidelberg, has been given hope that one day he and other blind people may have their sight restored completely by an experimental bio-chip that scientists installed in his retina. The chip, developed at a German eye clinic, is just three millimetres across and thinner than a human hair, yet it has 1,500 tiny sensors that can convert light into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brain. advertisement In the beginning I could only see really bright lights that were just in front of me, said Mr Brueck, who was among seven volunteers to report success with the treatment. But then they adjusted the sensors and although I could not make out exact outlines and shapes, I could orientate myself, which was great. At the very end, they put me in a dark room with only a window, turned me around a few times and then asked me to spot the window, which I could. Doctors at the University of Tübingen have been working on the bionic eye for 11 years. Prof Eberhard Zrenner, the project leader, said: They work just like solar power cells and convert light to electricity. These electrical impulses can then be transmitted via the optic nerve directly to the brain. The treatment works best for people who used to be able to see and have already developed the part of the brain that deals with sight. The chip can only be used if a person's optic nerve is still working, as with Mr Brueck. He underwent eight hours of surgery during which the chip was planted into the retina, along with a transmitter and an ultra thin-wire running under the skin to the base of his ear, where it can be plugged into a small transformer to charge the chip. The chip was installed for a five-week trial period only, but progress has been faster than predicted, and Mr Brueck said that if it went into commercial production, he would be first in the line. If it does then I would definitely want to use it, he said. It was so good to have light again. Even the vague light and dark made all the difference.

This case was filed by Sambhavana group which is registered at Delhi and is active in issues related to disability. This order could be used for any vialation of reservation policy in teaching posts in colleges and university departments in other universities too. Nikhil On Thu, 05 Apr 2007 Vikas Kapoor wrote : DU restrained from appointing teaching staff New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday restrained the University of Delhi and all its affiliated colleges, which failed to provide three per cent reservation for disabled person in teaching department, from recruiting faculty members till further orders. The respondents have not given explanation for the failure to implement resolution passed by the university (pertaining to reservation for disabled). We stay the process of selection and appointment so that rights of the disabled might not be defeated due to extraneous reasons, a Bench comprising Justice T.S. Thakur and S.N. Agrawal said. The Court was upset over the delay in the implementation of the provision of Disability Act even 15 years after the Act was passed by Parliament and six years after the judgement pertaining to providing reservation. The colleges failed to implement the policy and with impunity they are defying the provisions of Parliamentary legislation and the judgement of this court, the Bench said. The Court also sought explanation from the registrar of the University regarding the steps taken by it to implement the reservation of the disabled persons in the teaching profession. ``Most of the colleges get aid from the UGC and affiliated to University of Delhi, so the University has to explain why the policy of reservation has not been implemented in letter and spirit,'' Justice T.S. Thakur said. -- PTI http://www.hindu.com/2007/04/05/stories/2007040517550400.htm Vikas Kapoor, MSN ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype ID: dl_vikas Mobile: (+91) 9891098137.

Re: [AI] Now book rail tickets through mobile phones
I agree with Dadu, In fact there is a pressing need to address the issue. A writ petition could always be filed in the Honorable high Court to this effect. Persons with disability are the real sufferers while booking ticket from counters. They have to take along themselves some one to help them in getting the ticket. Moreover, generally the counters are inaccessible for the wheel chair users and the behavior of clerks are also most of the time unfriendly. Most of them think that they are doing charity in providing the consession tickets to PWDs or the money is going out of their pocket. I Propose that like PAN card and voter Id. card PWDs could also be issued an Id. card by the railways for concession purposes, mentioning their percentage and nature of disability and could always provide them with special code and the card. same code could be used by PWDs for booking their ticket online. There could be so many other modalities which could be discussed on this group and a writ to the nature of mandamus could be filed in the High Court or Supreme Court. With regards, Vip Dr. Vipin K.

Re: [AI] towards 2020
My friend is right! Cane is not a full proof system for mobility. One has to take in to consideration the amount of time which one could spare for covering a distance. On foot paths there are so many branches of the trees which hit your forehead and you start profusely bleeding and some times you have to go for stitches to stop the same. There are many electric polls too which hit you and are not generally covered by the stick. In the given circumstances, where citizens are not enlightened and civic authorities are sleeping.

[AI] Biology of Bionic eye!
Seeing is not believing Terry Byland's remarkable bionic eye illuminates the great fallacy of ID: nature is often neither intelligent nor well-designed. James Randerson Articles List of 2 items Latest Show all list end Profile Webfeed All James Randerson articles About Webfeeds February 20, 2007 8:30 PM | Printable version Aged 37, the last thing you want to hear is that you are going blind - and that there's nothing they can do. From the day in 1985 when Terry Byland was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, it took seven and a half years for the rare condition to rob him of his sight. But in 2004 he was given hope. Prof Mark Humayun at the Doheny Eye Institute at the University of Southern California selected him as the sixth patient in a trial of a rudimentary bionic eye. The device relays visual cues from a tiny camera in a pair of glasses worn by the patient to a surgical implant connected to their retina. Consisting of a four-by-four grid of electrical signals, it is hardly a return to full vision, but by giving back some visual sense it has transformed the lives of Prof Humayun's patients. This is a truly stunning piece of medical engineering. But what struck me as I listened to Prof Humayun describe his 16-pixel eye at the American Association for the Advancement of Science's annual meeting in San Francisco last week was that it is the most effective counter I know to one of the central arguments of intelligent design (ID). Proponents of the creationist alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection look at a complex biological structures like the eye and ask, what use is half an eye?. The human body's elegant machines are so wonderfully crafted, so irreducibly complex they say, that it is impossible to imagine them having been built up piece by piece by an accumulation of random mutations. All the bits have to fit together - so half an eye, or half a heart, or half of the metabolic pathway that extracts energy from sugar is no use at all. Try telling that to Terry Byland. A 16-pixel monochrome eye is about as basic a form of vision as you could imagine, and yet he can tell the difference between a plate and a knife, perceive the direction that objects in front of him are moving and find the door of a room. It has revolutionised his life. Prof Humayun is about to begin trials of a 64-pixel eye which he predicts will allow patients at the very least to do the same tasks, but much more quickly. When he gets to 1000 pixels, he reckons his test subjects will be able to recognise faces. If his bionic eye were subject to mutation and natural selection, it is easy to imagine the step-by-step process leading from the 16-pixel stage to a fully-formed eye. In Darwin's day, the eye was a great battleground in the evolution debate. These days the ID crowd tends to steer clear of it, though. It smacks too much of traditional fusty Victorian zoology, and besides, biologists have done a comprehensive job of documenting every conceivable step along the gradual road from a single light sensing cell to binocular, colour vision. But the same principle applies to the sexy molecular machines the IDers now prefer to cite as unevolvable. The spinning tail that a bacterium uses to swim may look so exquisitely put together that half a tail would be useless. But Prof Humayun's 16-pixel eye teaches us to be wary of the lazy assumption that having only part of a complex biological structure confers no benefit at all. Part of the reason that ID is such a seductive argument is the way that adaptation is often referred to in popular culture. No natural history documentary script would be complete without a description of the polar bear as perfectly adapted to its habitat or a eulogy to the exquisite camouflage of the arctic fox. But nature is much more interesting than the Discovery Channel would have us believe. Look closely and much of it wouldn't be winning any design awards. Rabbits, for example, have an inefficient and frankly gross way of digesting their food. Your furry pet has a side branch to its gut that is full of enzymes and bacteria. By munching on half-digested morsels from this side branch that have passed out of its backside the rabbit's stomach and intestines have a second go at extracting nutrients.
