Death Before Disability

More than half of Americans would rather die than live with a severe disability, according to a survey commissioned by an online social networking site aimed at disabled people. I guess they are not planning to jion your site in the event of...

Disaboom, which launched the survey to better understand people's perceptions of disabilities, said more than 54 million Americans -- 1 in 6 people -- live with some form of debilitating condition. But their poll indicated 52% of the 1,000 "nationally represented" adults chose death over losing the ability to live an independent life

"We want to show everyone that it's not the end, it's a new beginning," said Glen House, co-founder of Disaboom and a quadriplegic for 18 years. Yeah, you add some Scrabbulous and I'm sure half the people with change their mind and want to live. You can read the whole story
here and marvel at the statistics. Or not.

If you ask REFUSED, they'd rather be dead too.


maybe I posted this before, but they rule
