LDN,

You might want to read the article. It actually raises a number of interesting legal issues, including facilitated communication and consent.

And if you decide what to read based on the headlines, the Subject line of the linked post, or the presumed content, and/or have no interest in the subject, then just skip over it.

The story is disturbing, but the legal issues are fascinating. As far as "facilitated communication goes:

"Advocates claim that method allows a disabled person to communicate by typing on a keyboard while a facilitator provides physical support."

Sure seems like a super slippery slope to me.
