[Colorado-talk] ending blindness by 2020

[Scott C. Labarre]

My fellow Federation leaders and members of the NFBCO, last week, we were
approached by 9 News which is the leading local channel regarding an effort
to end blindness by 2020.  Below are links to the National Geographic
article which  prompted the local story and the 9 News interview itself.
Certainly, we do not object to the continuing advance of medical science.
However, when they paint blindness as a tragedy and thus the reason to pour
money into the project, we must not be silent.

 

Best,

Scott
