This word "legacy" has been used repeatedly, but the witnesses do not know how many of our children have become infertile due to a lack of timely intervention. Again, it is like the light switch and the fan switch. That is not a mistake; that is an ongoing systemic and systematic failure of our children, with disabled children being de facto sterilised for lack of intervention on the witnesses' watch and they do not even know how many are affected.
