MacK1950 2,378 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Watched a very good documentary,hard to resist emotions especially that of his tumble when kicking off at his benefit game. Sympathetically done and although a necessary part of the documentary passed over his misdemeanors quite quickly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It was both compelling and horrendous to watch. I couldn't help thinking how many people were going through the same thing right now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
917 191 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 RIP Fernando, who battled MND but ultimately in vain. Nobody has ever survived this terrifying disease, although some like Sir Stephen Hawking have lived with it into their 70s. There is no cure for this disease. There is no cure for Aids either, yet thanks to billions of pounds of scientific research HIV sufferers can now expect to lead normal lives & drugs can delay the effects of the disease indefinitely. It is time the same level of funding was put into fighting MND.

History suggests that, given a sufficient large and sustainable supply of money to engage enough top researchers and provide the best equipment and facilities, every disease will be cured or rendered treatable. The problems, as always, are finite resources and the many causes competing for them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
