 "Will and Flying" is a book about and for life. With a very different approach, one narrative and the other witnesses, the two authors, Carlo and Luigi Vittorio Bellieni Berliri, take the reader in critical reflection on the concept-or rather the bias-of 'normality'. A journey where "the motivations bioethics, human and literary are added so as to form a single speech not only the lives of some people, but of all", as illustrated by the Archbishop of Florence Giuseppe Betori in the preface of the book. Both authors talk about the issue with full knowledge of the facts. Bellieni, neonatologist and a corresponding member of the Pontifical Academy for Life , imagine, in a short inspired historical novel - science, a dark world, in the end not too far from our worst this hedonistic and plastic, where people would not be considered "under" are branded and treated as "surplus to be disposed of." So the unsuspecting hero who gives his name to the story, the researcher Mary Ryan, working in the laboratories of the Dublin Institute of Technology in a series of experiments on the effects of electromagnetic fields on animal behavior, is to oppose the plans of a vicious lobby politicians and industry decided to continue, of course not only doctrinal purposes, the delusional system of thought professed by the Cathars. A heretical sect that a partire dal XII secolo, diffuse specie nella Francia meridionale una disciplina mortifera e senza speranza che vedeva nella procreazione il trionfo del Male e nel rifiuto della vita e della fisicità l’espressione più elevata di pietà religiosa. Diversa è la testimonianza di Berliri, presidente della cooperativa sociale Spes Contra Spem che gestisce alcune case famiglia romane dove vengono accolti giovani portatori di handicap. La "Speranza contro ogni speranza", è proprio quella descritta da San Paolo nella Lettera ai Romani ("Egli ebbe fede sperando contro ogni speranza") e“Tutti diversi” è il titolo delle testimonianze raccolte da Berliri durante i suoi anni di attività. Traspare dalle voices and recalled from the looks of the many guests, Cynthia, Adriana, Stephen Brown, Francesca, the commitment of all those involved to value life, however it is expressed, because no one remembers how Berliri, it can really be convinced that " normal ". "I think of Cynthia. Cynthia is not "equal." She is "different". But I also think each of us. We are "different." And I like a challenge. Find one "equal" to me or to yourself and bring it here! Found? No right? Are you a "different" then? ". The risk, otherwise, be bearers of an ideology is suicide in the name of an alleged formal perfection (Itself nothing more than a commodity to sell and to feed the thirst in humans reduced to consumers), would marginalize, or even put to death men and women are often unable to defend at the same time that show a physical defaillance or lose some function as an essential agreement to retain the status of "person". But Berliri teaches us, those who have looked into the eyes Adriana, Stephen and the other guests in the foster homes, she knows that the defect is only those who can not or are afraid to hear the testimony, even stunted, the other. Because all human beings living under the sky-we like to conceive how a simple spatial reference or push you to feel like a metaphysical dimension, and all are journeying inevitably, sooner or later, to be formally "not perfect". By statute, you might say. So thanks to these two courageous writers, that in this all too accustomed to concise definitions, useful often act without thinking, remind us that "we are all a continuous discovery, all we are a resource for all others."
