DNA Quote of the Day - People with Disabilities
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted May 22, 2007 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
From an editorial by Andrew J. Imparato and Anne C. Sommers of the American Association of People With Disabilities:
So long as we speak in terms of good genes and bad genes, recognize a life with a disability as an injury, and allow health policies to value some lives over others, we continue to create human rights violations every day.
