I just saw a news clip on a dating show in the Netherlands that deals with disabled people looking for love. Would you watch this show if it came to the U.S. or your country? Would you have a problem with this type of program? Being the sister of a disabled man I would not---I think that it is awesome. My brother leads a normal life--works, bought a house and married just like all my other siblings. I have some physically disabled friends who were lucky in love and others still in the search. One contestant on the show said that the people who have a problem with it are able-bodied people. It is a shame that able-bodied people feel that way since able-bodied people can find themselves disabled at any point in their lives and wouldn't they still want to love and be loved? One main reason people are against it is that they don't want it to become a "freak show." Do you believe it would? Would it be worse than watching Barbie and Ken Doll like people dating on a show?
