Grouch, I’m with you on that whole thread. Because you know, everyone in the entire world who makes a horrificly hard decision where there is nothing but lose-lose scenarios is obviously a self-centered asshole to the n-th degree. I know a lot of self-centered a-holes, but I know no one who would make that decision “easily” and for “convenience”.

Can any issue ever be so one-sided?

However, the right-wing disability video I found hysterical. And yes, I am half-German!

Gosh, I think it’s just lovely that NeoNatalDoc feels entitled to tell us what parents who terminate pregnancies with disabled fetuses are “really” thinking.

Suzuki unveils prototype fuel cell electric wheelchair. Um, I think it looks like a uncomfortable tinker toy, but it is interesting.

aww, makes me think of a four-wheeled aibo.

seriously, it likely is an uncomfortable tinker toy; prototype, and all that. but if they can perfect the fuel-cell power supply, it should be possible to create a plug-in replacement for regular electric wheelchairs’ batteries (or a near-plug-in replacement, anyway) with much better endurance and performance, not to mention faster “recharging”. the same technology could, in theory, replace most applications of regular batteries, or at least regular lead-acid batteries. most interesting, indeed!
