Disability Advocacy in Mainstream News
An article entitled "Their Devil's Advocates" relates the journed of Canada's Randy Warren from his birth as a thalidomide baby in 1961 to becoming an advisor to a biomedical company now selling Thalidomide. Mr. Warren's advocacy efforts for those disabled, like himself, by the Thalidomide drug taken during pregnancy have led him to "wind up in the uncomfortable position of adviser and confidant to Celgene (the biomedical company) as it maneuvered through the arduous process of licensing a drug that he considered a poison." This article is a "must read" for advocates in the U.S..
It appeared in the New York Times Sunday Magazine on February 7, 1998.
