"Good
or Bad?"
Heather
Lanier's daughter Fiona has Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome,
a genetic condition that results in developmental delays
-- but that doesn't make her tragic, angelic or any of
the other stereotypes about kids like her. In this talk
about the beautiful, complicated, joyful and hard journey
of raising a rare girl, Lanier questions our assumptions
about what makes a life "good" or "bad,"
challenging us to stop fixating on solutions for whatever
we deem not normal, and instead to take life as it comes.
