    Julie, please stop

    It's obvious you either didn't read the article, or didn't comprehend what it was you were reading.

    >Ashley is a person with feelings and

    >has the right to have aspirations and

    >desires just like everyone else.

    Ashely doesn't even have what it takes mentally to SIT UP. She will never have aspirations or desires.

    I find your profound ignorance appalling.
