Good call, and thanks.

Eh, I would have to imagine that that sort of thin has been tried before. Not that I have done much research, but normally with behavioral issues negative reinforcement is one of the first things tried.

I doubt it, for that to work they would have to keep the person convinced for an entire lifetime. Plus Im sure most people with the illness are told from a very early age that it is something they will have to live with, and that there is no cure. So to convince them otherwise would be very difficult.

Not with medicine we have today. I honestly view the outlook of "we CAN cure everything" as being far more naive. Ala cancer, AIDS, the common cold, etc...
And before anyone starts, I dont care if "THEY have the cures THEY just arent releasing them, so dont go there :P

Of course there are far worse things, but there are also far better and Im guessing most of the people veiwing this have it substantially better than these kids. To not be able to control your body, or voice, would be pretty damn difficult compared to most of our lives.
If you watch the video on youtube, there are 12 videos of this same show about the kids going to camp. Its pretty weird because you see all these kids with these problems, but then they are also just totally normal kids in every other aspect.

"...so confident in our technology As to think we can do whatever..."
I hoped that by that line alone after the first paragraph, would emphasize the other extreme to being able to cure everything without boundries or caution.
I cannot back up my last statement on my previous post, I merely felt like this entire thread is pointless unless the person hosting this thread is trying to raise awareness and or money in hopes for a cure.
Thanatos12, with your "senior member" status, and the fact that you responded to 3 people tells me one of 2 things.
Your trying to go up in posting status...orrrr...your terribly bored and I am entertaining your Internet posting needs.
I expect a response. ;)
If the thread is pointless, go away. Its on a discussion board, granted I posted it in wibbles at like ass early AM, but a good discussion arose from it.
Also, nothing you are saying is really on topic. Maybe try to rephrase it or something, but I have no clue what you mean, and I would like to.
