[nabs-l] Feeling faces: a myth or true?

[Chris Nusbaum]

It's a myth. I have never felt someone's face nor have I known any blind person who has, although sighted people have on occasion invited me to feel their face if I needed to. I don't know how it would help, but something in the idea of feeling the face of a stranger creeps me out. (Smile)
