Bryan I agree it might be an idea to amend CLAP to Cleft palate! Glad all turned out well. There are a high proportion of rugby-playing surgeons/doctors and they have to have good hands - you can't play well unless you can handle the ball properly. nell |

Bryan. I was glad to read this thread. I watched a programme on the tv a couple of weeks ago about late abortions because of disability. There was one done because the child was going to be born with a double cleft and it was decided that this was a severe 'handicap' (I hate that word but that is the one used). I think abortions are often done too easily. I have spina bifida and this would have been classed as a 'severe handicap' so I probably wouldn't be here if my mum could have had a scan to diagnose it in the 60's. I am living independently, drive a car, work, have a fiance and am very happy with my life thank you very much. Being born disabled isn't the end of the world. It is just the world's idea that everyone has to be 'perfect' that makes it such a terrible thing in most people's minds. Mel |
