Wow, I've seen posts about the here and there. I've got such mixed feelings about it. I mean it's interesting and good to spread awareness. But it feels wrong to make entertainment from sick people.

the sick aren't going to magically get better from not laughing at them

True, but it's kinda sick behavior to laugh at them. Where is your empathy?

It may motivate them and help them with connections to get better. I wish they weren't exploited to do so, but it's not my TV programming.
