Victoria Arlen, a teen paralyzed swimmer that set a world record disqualified from participation in the Montreal Paralympics because she has hope of being able to walk again someday with treatment in the future. It doesn't make any sense to me, of their rules that one must be permanently disabled to participate in these events. It's like a Deaf athlete being disqualified to participate in the Deaflympics if he is planning on having a cochlear-implant procedure in the future. Enjoy our life at the moment, forget the past and not worry about the future, accept us as who we are today!
This is Smokey stay tuned for the next episode of Deaf Anthology, Good Night Deaf America.
