I think that some of the public responses were a little in excess. You did however, bring this on yourself to a large extent. You could not be completely innocent of wrong doing if you upset this many people. Think before you act. I do commend your project and like the idea.
Information is always good in disolving ignorance and fear.
There may be more appropriate resouces for you to access however, such as United Cerebral Palsy Foundation. I know that you have learned more from this experience than the classroom would have ever taught you. I hope you share all these e-mails with your freinds in your presentation, because the emotional side and personal interactions are just as important as the clinical side of your future job. Please above all remember, these children are not examples of a condition, they are real human beings with all the same emotions and dreams that you have. And as their parents we have to protect their right to have those dreams.
