Laura Hershey is severely disabled from a rare neuromuscular condition. She says:
“My life of disability has not been easy or carefree. But in measuring the quality of my life, other factors – education, friends, and meaningful work, for example – have been decisive.
If I were asked for an opinion on whether to bring a child into the world, knowing she would have the same limitations and opportunities I have had, I would not hesitate to say, “Yes.”
Laura Hershey, Ms, July/August 1994
