[QUOTE="BigRedSwitch, post: 782164, member: 86237"] You're right of course, but just the same as anything else, everyone's argument/opinion has its own parameters. My angle is 'they won't find a cure in my lifetime or my son's' - basically, all the time that will ever matter to me. 'Forever' in the true sense means nothing at all, as very few humans will ever hit 100 years, yet alone eternity. Based on my parameters, I'll stick by my opinion. I've lived through practically 40 years of what appears to be big advances, but what have essentially come down to technology advancing to make the delivery of the same substances easier. Throughout this thread, though, it's always been looked at as though the people who don't think there will be a cure are 'negative'. Once again, to stress the point - I don't care if there's a cure. I'm doing just fine as I am. Would I like an artificial pancreas? Absolutely! I'll be the first in line, but I'm not all that bothered, truth be told. [B]I'M[/B] Diabetic - it's part of me - like my blue eyes, tattoos and bald head, and just the same as my blue eyes, tattoos and bald head, I'm more than comfortable with being diabetic. :) I guess I just find the idea of people pining for a cure to something which (if you approach it correctly) is pretty easy to live with, quite annoying and a bit misguided, really. No apologies for that - you can't really change the things that annoy you no matter how compassionate you are. [/QUOTE]
