"My husband and I have decided we will give up EVERYTHING so they live as long and as comfortably as possible. There are also charities that help families in these situations. "


I've been surprised that you are the first (and only, to my knowledge) person to mention 'charities' as a source of aid.


"I do not believe in a nanny state, I believe that private charities should help these families, and I support them."


Thanks for sharing your opinion and experiences, of which your experience is far more 'real' than anyone else's in this thread, in relation to the topic.

Thank you for your kind response.

I should also mention that my plastic surgeon did all of his work pro-bono (he had a thriving celebrity practice and was one of the top in his field) AND helped pay for my hospital bills, as did March of Dimes. He was a great man (he passed away about 10 years ago).
