Message From a Multihandicapped Child

VIRGINIA K. PROUD MD1

1 Department of Human Genetics, Medical College of Virginia, Richmond, VA 23298

To the Editor.—

This is a message, a plea, a cry from 6-month-old Elizabeth at her death. Elizabeth had Goldenhaar syndrome. Her condition was particularly severe.

Will we ever have the wisdom to truly look at, listen to, and experience the lives of the handicapped children committed to our care? Will we ever be able to follow the ethical guidelines or to listen to the moral cues we receive from these children?
