I have a friend that has a less severe case of this, and has been getting surgery since she was 4. Her family has spent more on fixing her than how much they would expect to pay for college twice. Should I give her $20 every time I see her? How about the 10 homeless people I walk by every day to get to school? What makes this person more important than any of them?
If you say nothing, then I wont give her money, if you say anything, you are lying. This isn't because I don't care about humans, I just don't see why I should care more for this on specific case.
This is where modern morals come in.
It will cost 10.000 Dollars to give her a little less of a shitlife. She still can't do anything, and ill always need to be cared for. Nobody wanted it, but it happened, and yes, she needs to be at least helped at best.
But it is sad it needs to be on minecraft forums, and on youtube. this could have been handled elsewhere, like a clinic with healthcare beniits.
Even then, she cannot be normal, even if you pay a million Dollars. Humans aren't that smart yet.
And also there is this felling involved what you can do with 10.000 Dollars to save more than one person.
A lot of ethics collide here. I'm just interested in what the view of you people is.
You should check some of the youtube comments, those scare even me.
I'll do that when I am home, youtube kills my battery.
My point is, I have to ignore people every day that are looking for money just to live, and while a couple of bucks wont kill me, donating to everyone I see would. I can't justify donating to this, when I ignore people wanting some food to get through the day.

I'm very disappointed with people here... I've donated $50 on behalf of the forum. It's not much but maybe it'll make up for the poor attitudes of some users here.
I don't think a lot of people understand how the problems with Africa etc. work, we can throw money at them but it won't help, they have problems with corruption in government. There is always someone who needs money more than someone else, quit your whining.
