[WSIS CS-Plenary] Draft Statement for Sub-Committee B (for Tuesday afternoon)

[Sylvia Caras]

>the inclusion of the recognition of both physical and mental health 
>information.


We have this discussion again and again, but I will keep objecting to the 
separation of physical and mental, and I object to perpetuating the 
separation based on reference to prior documents.  Health is a seamless 
blend of biological, psychological, sociological, spiritual and vocational 
well being.  People who actually experience mood swings, fear, voices and 
visions are whole human beings and, whatever the intent, it fosters 
shaming, prejudice and discrimination to carve us out in this way.
