| Zusammenfassung: | This essay focuses on the feelings and insights of a father of a child who has Down syndrome. It addresses issues surrounding human rights of persons with developmental disabilities, challenging the current laws in Russia, and calling for a life of co-citizenship and co-adaptation. Life of persons “jailed” in Psycho-Neurological Institutions is evaluated and compared to the former and more beneficial asylums once situated in Russia. The essay is an emotional plea of a father, for his son and others like him, to his people and the world. |
