I'd rather have research dollars go to helping us live "as we are." I'm more into acceptance for persons with disabilities and allowing us to move around in our society, rather than preventing our existence. Maybe your minerals can prevent a few of us from ever being born, but guess what we'll always exist no matter what. Once we're born, we're here, with no cures.

Go spend a few minutes with your twins, and realize that they're one illness or accident away from being disabled, and there will be no cure...just an effort to get health care providers, schools, family and friends to accept them as they are. Yeah, go try that...

Edited for grammar and the hell of it.
