My husband is one of those who won’t be helped if he gets this flu. (Parkinson’s)
We understand that. We would rather our grown children and our grandchildren go to the head if the line. I am healthy enough, but would forgo treatment if it meant saving the younger adults and children.
Marie’s situation is different. I would give up my place in line, however, for her son. Who knows what treatments might come along for him in the years ahead, and what he might be able to do with his life if he were saved.
Hopefully, nobody will ever have to make that decision. I do understand that they have to make these plans and, ugly as it is, they will have to make horrible, soul destroying decisions that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. The simple fact is, a lot of people won’t survive even WITH treatment.
