    HCM patients deserve life.



    Do you mean that people with HCM do not deserve to live?

    You mentioned that their are IVF experts that can assist with creating babies free of HCM...but if you take that route or rather if one hundred years ago this route was taken then you Lisa would not exist and neither would the patients that are supporting this very organization -

    I leave creation up to God - He is the one and only creator!

    So freightening that someone can think that people with hcm are not good enough for life.

    I understand HCM is not an easy diagnosis to live with but through each and every one of us you will survive. If you start choosing who you will give life to you may eliminate your very savior. The person who will actually "cure" HCM not wipe out the HCM population.

      Re: HCM patients deserve life.

      I think its a great idea having IVF experts to help have babies free of HCM,
      why would you think thats a bad thing thats crazzy,

      "not an easy diagnosis to live with" are you kidding i think you word here is LIVE , how many people die from this illness way to many if you could stop someone from getting this illness in any way at all i do not see that as wrong that amazing , i would love for HCM to be wiped out

      If one hundred years ago this route was taken then maybe i wouldent have to had a transplant maybe i wouldent have to have been on life support for a week at the age of 21 ,maybe my grandmother and aunty wouldent have passed away befor there time from HCM and maybe my father would be in hospitil right now and my 30 year old cosion wouldent have had a heart attack

      I disagree with you in so many ways
