>> *Baltimore, Maryland (January 15, 2013):* The National Federation of the
>> Blind <http://www.nfb.org/>, the largest organization of blind people in
>> the United States with over 50,000 members, including many deaf-blind
>> individuals, commented today on the state-sanctioned death by lethal
>> injection of deaf twins in Belgium.  Upon learning that they were also
>> going blind, the deaf twins sought and were granted euthanasia.

>> Dr. Marc Maurer <http://www.nfb.org/marc-maurer-bio>, President of the
>> National Federation of the
>> Blind<http://www.facebook.com/NationalFederationoftheBlind>,
>> said: "This disturbing news from Belgium is a stark example of the common,
>> and in this case tragic, misunderstanding of disability and its
>> consequences.  Adjustment to any disability is difficult, and deaf-blind
>> people face their own particular challenges, but from at least the time of
>> Helen Keller it has been known that these challenges can be met, and the
>> technology and services available today have vastly improved prospects for
>> the deaf-blind and others with disabilities.  That these men wanted to die
>> is tragic; that the state sanctioned and aided their suicide is
>> frightening."
