It's like s/he got a chance and now you can give someone else a chance, even if your seeing to an early exit for your friend. I guess on the scale going up to oh eternity the difference between 20 years and 80 just isn't that significant.
ENTITY: I hope things work out, keep me posted. I know you can't trust the opinions of asshole doctors around here, hope your doctors are better :mad:

it is said that every single act we do is because we are selfish - even the good ones.
i think there is a grain of truth to that... my decision would probably be based on how i could live with myself after.
regardless of the scenario the core of what you're asking is - what kind of life do you value more - a friend or a stranger..
i think for me it would be a case to case basis ..
your particular scenario would be a no win situation for me because i couldnt live with myself after .. a young friend vs a baby - i couldnt chose.
an old bastard and a baby - i'd pick the baby (if there was absolutely nothing i could do for the old bastard)
since having my son i feel very strongly towards the protection of babys.. once you experience first hand how defensless, and dependant they are - on you - it really brings out the protector in you - or it did in me anyway.
re the blood disease thing - its nothing at all really - no measurable effect - didnt even know i had it till i was in my 30's and we dont even know what parent has it ..
the only risk is if i married someone with the same affliction - and had a baby - the baby has a 1 in 4 chance of getting the advanced version of the disease (alpha) and they dont live very long at all...
