Layla, I don't care that she looks like the Phantom of the Opera minus the mask. I wouldn't care if she had an extra leg growing where her nose should be. What I CARE about, is the fact that she WOULD NOT BE ALIVE without the tubes in her throat to breathe, and the tubes in her stomach to eat, and the FOURTEEN SURGERIES that her parents did not pay for all by themselves. If she was just hideous, or blind, or deaf--sure, let her live. There's lots of people like that, and they can live their lives just fine. But she CANNOT LIVE without all this extra crap. Why should I pay for that, when my tax dollars could go to build a new school somewhere there are underprivileged kids who can survive without tube-feeding/breathing techniques? Or perhaps fund surgeries for people who fell off of roofs, or got shot in the middle of a gang fight, or SOMETHING that doesn't require hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for someone who isn't going to be able to live a normal life.

I think I can sum up the situation with a simple picture.
Pretend Mr. T is parental love and the guy in green is logic.

People think that others are forgetting that beauty is skin deep, and it's what's on the inside that matters, but what they're forgetting is that what's on the inside in this case is...nothing. She's missing bones. She can't function on her own. Granted, I'm not gonna say "omgosh they should kill her!" because I'm not one to advocate killing, but I will say that I understand the logic behind doing such a thing.
And Jamie, I don't think anybody's saying we should kill off everybody with problems. However, Sparta did it, and they were pretty cool, right? But nah, we should give everybody a fair chance. PS: has anybody else noticed the rise in people with only 1 or 2 posts? It's scary.

So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright. And I write the blog for their website. Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O |

Its not that she shouldnt live. Its her parents choice to let her live. I mean yeah id hate having to look like that. If i was ridculed and such sooooo much that id wanna kill myself for it id still probably not do it. Hell this sickens me to the utmost extreme but I am at the deepest ends of my sympathy for her. More importantly, on to the tubes. Yeah it'd suck with all those tubes and stuff. Just needing them to breath and eat would honestly drive me to the point where I'd go crazy. Oh and.....i thought 10-9 months was the earliest it could of been predictedly premature...on average of course. oh and PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN GRAMMAR AND SPELLING AND USE DAMN PUNCTUATION!(although i dont so oh well)
