What a bunch of curmudgeon posters! This story isn’t about sex, aids or even hemophilia, but it is about the human spirit’s ability to survive against all odds.

This young man was dealt a genetic death sentence at the moment of conception and then was delivered another death sentence because the people who loved him were trying to prolong his life. The article pointed out a responsible and intelligent young man who saw his life from the half full side of the glass.

Think about this: We bump ourselves against a hard object and get a bruise that is nothing more than a nuisance and an ugly discoloration for a few days, but for a hemophiliac that same bump may cause a bleed out that could result in a hospital stay getting multiple blood transfusions or a trip to the morgue.

The fact that sex seems to be the basis of the story says more about the reporter's immaturity than the young man who was mature enough to understand his genetic disorder and his contagious disease and live his life with dignity.

I liked the story!

I am a certified Curmudgeon and I find the story a positive, uplifting one. I will pray for the soul of this young man today in church. I will then say another prayer for his girl friend as she has shown herself to be a better person than many of our fellows here.
