Disability cancer : Smoking, drugs, high fat foods, alcohol. All have been proven in countless studies over many years, that these things will lead to cancer, heart disease, addiction etc., and ultimately death. This has been proven many times over, that if you smoke you have a very high likelihood of developing cancer or other diseases later in life, which are an immense drain on society via medical costs, disability etc. So why is this acceptable behavior, but blowing your brains out is bad? Both are suicide

Disability cancer : here by evolutionary chance? i have been thinking about it alot and i cant come to a conclusion. a part of me thinks that we are just animals with a more highly developed brain, here by the good graces of our parents. on the contrary, a part of me also believes that everything in life really is predetermined and has a purpose. for instance, im not a genius by any means, i wil not cure cancer or make any big discoveries, but i simply cannot comprehend the fact that i might have never existed. i

Disability cancer : According to an article published on Today.msnbc.com in October, there was a study given at the European Cancer Conference in Barcelona, which said that with most types of cancer, the healthy spouse was likely to support their partner. However, the risk of divorce increases if one partner suffers from testicular or cervical cancer, verses any other types of cancer. It's great and noble to love for the sake of love, but how smart is it? Do you think that it's pure vanity to not even consider

Disability cancer : What are their sins? Every answer that I am getting is basically stating that everyone with a disability is a sinner. What about mentally handicapped people?

Plus they think they know everything if you have an educated answer they try to fight u on it. If you ever disagree than the whole family (all his aunts) have to call u up to give u their opinion, curse u out or threaten ur life.

Disability cancer : Honestly, I hope he doesn't die. That would be too tragic, he is a child after all. But I would also be very disappointed if he gets shot, lives, and then miraculously is out of the hospital in a week. I think that it would make for a great storyline if Micheal gets paralysed.

Disability cancer : My wife, as a young woman, came down with a virulent form of cancer requiring complex procedures and awsomely expensive medication. We had insurance through employment. However, once going on disability, her health insurance lasted only 18 more months. Had she not recovered fully, and it is rare to do so with the disease, she would have had her health care cut off. She did not face this situation. However, I spoke with many spouses and family members with a similar disease whose finances we
