    I think its a good idea. However at the end of the day those with disabilities have to live in the "normal" world - whatever that is. Anything that can help them fit in is good. I thought this comment particularly well thought out:-

    When people do try it for just a few hours, says Watson, the difficulties can elicit pity rather than a constructive response. "People don't blame what they should blame, the inaccessible environment and the poor design, they blame the problems on the fact that you have to use a wheelchair or that you can't see."

      I sort of agree, I am for it because people have walked a few feet in someone else's shoes. Its got to lead to better design and assistance, maybe not by all but by an influential few.

      There will of course be negatives but I hope the positives out weigh them.

        Maybe I should have been disabled. Then instead of getting divorced from my wives I could have shot them through the bathroom door.
