EVERYWHERE
PEOPLE GO
HUNGRY WITHOUT
FOOD,
PEOPLE WITH DIABETES DIE,
WHEN THEY GO WITHOUT INSULIN.
Imagine
a young person knowing that they will die from a shortage of insulin
brought on by financial greed or politics, by what is manufactured
in unlimited quantities for less than a penny for each life-saving
dose.
All
of us with this condition face the possibility of blindness and
an early death. But I can't imagine anything worse than a persons
life slowly strangled away because their supply of insulin is exhausted.
Even as someone living in comfort thousands of miles away, is delaying
an eventual cure for this condition all in the name of "morality",
or the "dignity" of human life.
Unfortunately
this is a horror that takes place in much of the third world every
day.
