As many of you may know, Foundation Fighting Blindness has launched a
campaign to raise money for research in degenerative retinal conditions.
They encourage sighted people to take pictures of themselves doing things
"blindfolded" and post them. I believe this creates fear about blindness so
people rush to give money to research. I believe research is great but not
at the expense of all that NFB has accomplished over the past 76 years.
Here is a link to a great video produced by Arielle Silverman about her
research into the dangers of simulating blindness.  Please share.
