oscar pistorius has no legs, but can run faster than most able bodied men .....
my point being, just because SOME people can, doesnt mean everyone should be able to
A bilateral below the knee amputee is just as caperble of work as a blind person is if that is their only disability.
We shouldnt write off someone so young when many people with even less vision can work and have a fulfilling career.0 -
im not the only point im making is that not everyone is able to adapt as quickly or as well.
an ex or mine was in the army. a friend of his was paralised from the waist down in a work related accident.
they were both avid rock climbers. the friend had a harness made, and by the amazing strength in his upper bosy, still managed to go climbing.
do i think everyone that is in a wheelchair to be able to do this?
of course not.
and in the same way, the fact that one blind person can hold down a job doesnt mean that all can0
