I'm thankful for randomly coming across this article on albinism. After reading the accompanying comments under the images I realized my knowledge on the subject was so limited: back in school we did have an hour or so on albinism within the biology course, but all I ever really knew was that people and animals with the condition had very little or no pigment cells and thus looked very pale. I never even thought of it that much - I don't discriminate so why would I even think of someone who looks whiter than others? Yesterday I had a chance to read more on it and gosh, did I feel terribly uneducated! Among some other things, I had no idea people with albinism had a very different eye sight from people without the condition. So I am also thankful to Bianca and her blog for having put such an effort into explaining so many things.
This is interesting and I was also not very informed. Thank you for sharing.

That is interesting... I have a few friends with that condition and I didn't know a thing about it except that they are a whole lot whiter than me. Have a great weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI admit I don't know much about it either. I'm sure theirs is a difficult path. : ( But then again we all have our issues...I but there are plenty of people afflicted with that who don't see it as a negative thing!
ReplyDeleteWe take good health for granted till something afflicts us. Didn't know the eyesight was affected too in albinism.We learn something new everyday!
ReplyDelete..oooh , I didn't really know about Albinism a few years ago and nothing in the school , But here in UK we have a lot of informative programms and articles ..We are all just a people with hearts and souls : )

I love getting enveloped in something like that, it is amazing how little we all know of these topics.
