My special interest is the topic disability and tgere some specific conditions which I find more interesting than other conditions. Today is awareness day of a condition I find especially interesting
Today is ...
Angelman syndrome awareness day
So here are facts about Angelman syndrome
- Angelman syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder.
- Only 1 in 15 tousend children has it.
- It's a genetic defect in the 15th chromosome the child gets from their mother.
- It causes very severe intellectual and developmental disabilities.
- Most people with Angelman syndrome have issues with walking because of muscle hypotonia (too low muscle tone).
- It was called happy puppet syndrome at first because people with it laugh very often.
- If the same defect is on the 15th chromosome, the child gets from their father, it's prader willis syndrome.
- Prader willis syndrome reduces the life expectancy because many people get really obese because they don't have a feeling of full. Angelman syndrome doesn't reduce the life expectancy
- but the intellectual impairments are typically much more severe than in prader willlis syndrome.
- Most people with Angelman syndrome never talk some learn a few words but at highest 10 words.

Disclaimer: I don't have the energy to google if all the facts in my memory are correct. Some autistics are mad when other autistics accidentally infodump wrong facts but it's a fact that autism limits the ability to do stuff so it also reduces the ability to research facts.
Covid was a fake virus created as excuse to disseminate the covid vaccine, which was mainly a cover for the mRNA technology to change or fix your genes and your genetic sequences, and it had to be done the way it was, because it is not possible, without the pure devotion and love of the divine entering the entirety of your heart, for one suffering from genetic defects to admit that they are suffering from genetic defects, as that thought process causes the immune system to reject the cure, while keeping the disease, and too many genetic defects can cause your body to reject the Divine Truth, even if your mind accepts it. It’s literally a cure for everything that will ever possibly ail you, and all you have to do in order to obtain it, is be willing to understand the suffering of others, especially the suffering of those that have made you suffer. May God Bless each and every one of you.

नॉर्वे की रहने वाली लड़की करती है बिल्लियों जैसी हरकतें!
नॉर्वे की रहने वाली नानो का दावा है कि उनके मन से बिल्ली जैसी रहने की भावना आती है। इसी वजह से उनके इंसानी शरीर में चाल-चलन और हरकतें बिल्लियों जैसी ही हैं और दिनों दिन हरकते बढ़ती जा रही है। नानो की मानें तो दूसरों की तुलना में उनकी सूंघने की शक्ति अधिक है और वे अंधेरे में भी ज्यादा बेहतर तरीके से देख सकती हैं।

Got this orchid at the store. It was so weird I couldn't resist. Like what is even happening. I think it's peloric. Which I believe is radial symmetry being present in a flower that is normally bilateral/zygomorphic. Don't quote me on this. The first flower is on one stalk, which is still off, but not nearly as much. The second stalk has lots of close together flowers that are weird as hell. It's really hard to tell where they start and end. I didn't plan on buying more orchids, but I have one inside blooming (well, and a mini.) And I can have another I think. But I couldn't resist it's ridiculousness. My outside orchids are finally getting buds and possibly keiki so yesssss. I haven't had phals make babies before, so I'm excited.
by Stacy-Ann Gooden posted in Mom Stories One of the first things you may notice about my daughter are her cute dimples. The small indentations that appear on her cheeks when she flashes her signature smile are a trait that she got from me. But did you know dimples are a genetic defect? ...

The Language of Discourse Concerning the Abortion of Genetically Defective Fetuses
Leon Kass argues that aborting fetuses that are genetically defective has a couple of moral problems. Kass argues that genetic abortion poses a menace to the radical moral equality of all human beings, and that aborting fetuses with genetic defects may lead “normal” human beings to view persons with genetic disabilities to be second-class people. This entry is a response to Kass’ view that the language to discuss genetic disease supports the belief that it is defective persons that are being eliminated, rather than diseases.
I do not think that the language to discuss genetic disease necessarily supports the belief that persons with genetic disabilities are being aborted because they are seen as a disease. The sentences people use, which concern the genetic disabilities of people can be analyzed to mean only that those persons possess such genetic disabilities. Going to, as Kass puts it, a language of identity from a language of possession is not done deliberately to imply that a person is a disease. To use one of the author’s examples, when someone says, “She is diabetic,” we can translate this to only mean “She has diabetes.” I do not think that when someone says, “She is diabetic,” they mean “She is diabetes,” for this would not make sense. No one says that a person is HIV when a person has HIV.
We can say that the copula is is not being used to determine an identity. On the other hand. the term is being used in this kind of way: to be in a state that makes one possess some thing (e.g. material objects, or physical conditions). For example, the statement “John is home” is not usually taken to mean that John identifies himself with his home. Rather, the better entailment of “John is home” would be something like, “John is at his home.” It may even imply the statement that “John has a home or a house.” Most people do not mean that a person is a disease, when they use sentences like “Mary is HIV positive.”
Up until this point, Kass seems to have been careful to equate persons with human beings. Yet, in discussing the language used in discourse about genetic defects, he explicitly says defective persons instead of defective human beings. I took this to mean that Kass sees no difference between having the status of human life and having the status of personhood. By doing so, Kass may bring the conversation back to whether or not fetuses are persons, a debate that he seems to see as irrelevant to what he is particularly arguing for, since the problem that he is presenting is one that is a threat to the moral equality of all human beings, and not persons.
In this same section, Kass says that a person is more than their disease, and I agree. There are some people who view persons with genetic defects as second-class persons. However, I think that this can be handled by further educating those people about the facts concerning genetic defects, and by trying harder to make those people understand that it is offensive to dismiss people with, say, Down’s Syndrome, as lesser-than-human. I realize that this is only an aspiration, and is yet to be actualized. Still, even if the day arrives that people with genetic defects are seen by all as equals, it does not mean that we should not try to eliminate undesirable genes in human life forms that still only have the potential to have the status of personhood, like fetuses.
No one is arguing that conscious persons with genetic defects should be terminated. Kass argues somewhere else [in his paper] that genetic abortion is one of the most justifiable kinds of abortion. It prevents genetic diseases from being passed on to future generations, and it saves the potential person from living a life that is not easy, both socially and physically. We do not abort fetuses with genetic defects because we see them as diseases, and especially not because we use speech to suggest that we see them as diseases. We spare them from a life of suffering.
I always find it interesting when people compliment the crater-like dimples in my face. I wonder if they know that it's a genetic defect: that it's simply abnormally short cheek muscles.
