The draft BDA letter has now been translated into BSL:
The letter in English can be found here [PDF] (AMENDED: 4 Dec 2007. after BSL translation). Please note this letter has gone to relevant people sitting in the House of Lords.
Huge thanks to Gavin Lilley for his time in translating this letter, Katie Rogers for organising this, and both to Gavin and JG Jones for spending a lot of energy over the weekend getting this uploaded after several false attempts.

I felt i was important to say thanks to Gavin for gving his time to translate the draft BDA letter. He was very clear. Thanks. By the way, I am wondering why the letter sent to the Lords is a DRAFT letter?

I've put my response to this in the form of a BSL fairy story on my blog - the whole idea of eugenics is disgusting.
