Subject: [OKADULTS] PUTTING DISABLED INFANTS TO DEATH.... ALERT!


>PUTTING DISABLED INFANTS TO DEATH.... ALERT!
>
>During this past week several disAbility advocates have come
>out against the hiring of Peter Singer at one of the top
>universities of learning in the USA. Below is a portion of
>the April 17, 1999 statement of Marcia Bristo, Chairperson,
>National Council On Disability regarding the hiring of Peter
>Singer at Princeton University, New Jersey USA.
>
>Good afternoon. My name is Marca Bristo and I am the Chairperson
>of the National Council on Disability, an independent  federal
>agency advising the President and the Congress on public  policy
>issues affecting the 54 million Americans with disabilities and
>their families. I want to thank Christopher Benek and Princeton
>Students Against Infanticide for inviting me to participate in
>today's event.
>
>I have read Peter Singer's Practical Ethics, and I am extremely
>concerned that Princeton University has chosen to honor the
>author of this dangerous work with an esteemed position that
>will influence the way future leaders of America and the World
>will think about the value of a disabled person's life. I am
>not a philosopher or an ethicist, but I know what is right and
>what is wrong.
>
>Condoning the murder of infants is wrong. Devaluing the life
>of a human because of her disability is discriminatory, hateful,
>and bigoted. Peter Singer can package his ideas as utilitarian,
>practical, ethical, logical, even  reasonable if he chooses. The
>plain truth is that Peter Singer thinks people with disabilities
>have lives that aren't worth living.
>
>WAPD ALERT!!!!
>
>All PWD's go to the Princeton Website and pick out an
>email address to protest this very serious matter. Send
>it NOW! Get ten (10) friends online to email them about
>this appointment. The goal is 500,000. Help! NOW!
