    we lost a great niece to the side effect of krabbe, about 5 years ago. Anna's law was passed here in Kentucky to help others not to lose their child. one simple blood test was all it took.

    I know someone with Krabbe's disease who will be 20 years old. As much as I know she is loved, she has been blind, deaf, unable to move, eat, talk, for her entire life. She is so crippled with severe scoliosis, her wrist bent backwards, arms are and legs contracted, lives in a bed or wheelchair 18 years of her life. She has never smiled, only can feel heat, cold or pain. Basically has only a brainstem, yet she survives, but what kind of life is that?

    Wouldn't taking on a bone marrow transplant limit a patient's ability to benefit from such a transplant in the future if, God forbid, they should happen to contract an illness which could normally be treated by it?

    I wish they'd had testing at birth available so this child could have been treated before she'd become disabled.

    If I was a child, I wouldn't want to be aware of everything and not able to move for the rest of my life. I'm not trying to hurt anyone, but she would be healed with Jesus and they could see her again someday.

    How selfish. The parents wanted to keep her very disabled, with no quality of life , so that they won't be sad, and keep her in a horrendous state.

    You shouldn't judge these parents, killing a disabled child is the true selfish act! How hypocrite of you to talk about selfishness, it's people who think like you that should be ashamed!

    You are not the parents of this sweet child. Who knows what is going to happen in the next few years. The medical field is advancing all the time. Its comments like this that is selfish. If you were to walk in their shoes then you can judge but thankfully she's not your child.
