The way Im looking at things, is that if the money was spent to help cure the diseases, rather than sending kids with teh diseases to disney land, it would better for everyone in teh long run.



but I hate thinking that way because those kids have it rough.

meh, why not apply the same logic then and say, why even waste any money on charity, since even if you cure diseases the people who have those diseases are just going to die eventually anyway?

Because there is a basic quality of life imo that people on earth should have while your here, that I can only hope is someday achieved, being disease free is part of that, taking kids to disneyland isnt.

exactly, so given that there is no dollar amount that when reached all disease will be eradicated and everyone will have that quality of life, what is wrong with giving money to some people so that they can have a wonderful moment in a life that is going to be drastically short on wonderful moments.

meh, I have the hope that eventually all or at least all but the most harmful diseases will be cured.
