Who says it's against the NFB constitution to do research?

We generally don't, as an organization, do research on preventing 
blindness and restoring lost vision, because that is not what we're 
about.  But what does it matter to us if others do these things, so 
long as what they do does not interfere with what WE do?  That even 
includes the really weird chip-in-the-brain stuff, if you insist.  
Personally, I think that stuff is kind of cool, but the devil will be 
skating to work long before you'd ever get one of those in my head!

Some have said it is against the NFB Constitution to to do research. I direct your attention to the last line in Article 2 of the NFB Constitution, to wit "and to take any other action which will improve the overall condition and standard of living of the blind." and I support the power of the human spirit.
