Ricker Riffs

Mostly about Camp CAYA, weekend camp for families with someone with dwarfism, but occasionally other things that mean a lot to me (disability ethics, etc.) Some photos from camp are hidden with or under the old posts until I figure this thing out.

About Me

Ruth: Papers: "Do We Really Want This: LPA comes to terms with Genetic Testing" (Society of Disability Studies 1996); "The Continuum of Disability & Trait in the Age of Genetic Manipulation" (Ecumenical Forum on Human Genetic Enhancement 1998); "Pride & Progress" (co-author) Harvard Medical Alumni Bulletin Winter 1998; http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74002823/image2012-04-02-183144.pdf, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74002823/image2012-04-02-183205.pdf, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74002823/image2012-04-02-183220.pdf The big DNA chip hasn't happened yet, but now there's an experimental medication by injection (Biomarin - BMN111), probably drug trials in near future, that may help with the short arms and potentially life-threatening neuro/respiratory complications of most common type of dwarfism, but kids would also grow in height. Brave new world. Biggest kick for me this last year was co-preaching Access Sunday at my spiritual home http://oldsouth.org/sermon/2011-10-09
