Choosing Blindness Over Sight
April 7th, 2007 by janetI’ve just written a blog on my other site about the question of whether a person would choose to have their sight restored if a) they’d lost it through accident or disease later in their life; or b) they were born blind.
Before you go and read it, I just want to make something clear here for parents of kids with retinoblastoma who may be struggling with the question of whether to treat their child’s cancer, and so save sight, or whether to have the eye removed. This blog is not about that issue. It stemmed from a radio program about the invention of artificial sight and what it will offer those people without sight. But it is interesting in terms of what the blind ‘can see’, and this might be a comfort for parents of retinoblastoma kids who have lost their sight.
