Should Naybar Hood even be allowed to testify? Is it time to consider impeachment? Only time will tell...

I just finished reading the book, "Everything, Everything" and I really enjoyed it. I was looking at some of the posts about it on Tumblr and I came across a post talking about how it's harmful and ableist. To explain this, basically because it's about a girl with SCID who wants a life outside of her bubble, it's promoting the idea that those with disabilities aren't living right. This is a completely idiotic way of thinking. I didn't reply directly so as to avoid direct fire. But I do not see a problem with one inconsequential girl wanting more out of her life. Think of the concept of deaf people. While deafness is in no way a disability and more a different way of life, there are those who desperately want hearing so they get cochlear implants, and those who love being deaf and see life no different. It's a matter of personal belief and feeling. The author chose to put it in the perspective of a girl who didn't want the bubble life any longer. Sure there are many people with SCID that don't mind the life they live, but there are definitely people who want more, so who gives a crap which perspective the book chose to perceive.
