What is wrong with people...?
That was a topical highlight, folks!! Basic English!! !
That's not even university level stuff!

Okay, clearly I have to whore-out and simplify...
The only real reason this makes news is it's rarity; it's not common enough for anybody to spend money finding a cure, at best, people will offer transient sympathies until the next "awww-able" thing comes along. The child is doomed; fact. The only reason people think they should care is because it is a child. Simple human psychology.

Personally, I'd be a little pissed if my disease wasn't "popular" enough to warrant more than a "sorry".
A lot of experts, even media personalities, have highlighted this very issue.

Please, people, please!! Learn so-called "advanced" English!! Please!

You'll get no sympathy from me when you turn to stone.

Ishmael you have gone to far this time, this is a painful disease that will slowly rob this boy of everything :cry: just imagine i you were to be turned into stone like he is it would hurt in every way possible.

Oh and violet_yoshi I also heard about this when I watched Medical Incredible.

You're Canadian - your opinion doesn't count. Thanks for playing.


Um, what does Canadian have to do with anything? How did this get so far off topic?!
