Re: The Make a Wish Foundation
My company does media management for this organisation, so I have to read/write about it every other day.
To a terminally ill 4 year old, a visit to meet Mickey at Disneyland is far more life enriching than the hope that there might be a cure for cancer in 50 years' time.
Isn't your stance the same as saying "why not shut down state-financed hospices" - does quality of life become worthless once you're diagnosed with a terminal illness?
At a meta level, I understand where you're coming from, but don't think a little bit of kindness towards dying kids is money wasted.
