Kids don't raise themselves, at least they weren't meant to. They don't go this far off track in a normal, decent family.

This is the sort of soul-less, animalistic response to impending death that might be expected from a human child raised by beasts.

You've got to assign a healthy dose of blame to the parents here.

You've got to assign a healthy dose of blame to the parents here.

And I do! Childhood cancer is nearly always genetic, and that places blame for the whole sad situation squarely at the parent's feet.

So you are one of those types who blame parents for the sins of their children? Do you have kids? What do you think of those families where one child out of 3 or 5 becomes the black sheep? Do you blame the parents? Just curious..

This reminds me of an item that appeared in National Lampoon's "Time of the Month" almost 20 years ago. Of course, that time it was a joke and the fictional benefactors were the Make-a-Wish foundation and Victoria Principal.

I don't see what the big deal is about the kid wanting to get some before he goes. If you aren't a virgin now, you don't really have room to blame, do you?

HOW DARE YOU ALL. I'm appalled by your self righteousness. The kid is dying. He wanted to get laid. He's a normal 15 year old boy. Normal 15 year old boys think about sex all the time. Of course, they know eventually they will have it. This poor child knew he never would. What the hell is so wrong with asking for it. Gee, excuse him for not having the gift of time to fall in love. What would have been better, to ask to meet his favorite sports star or go to Disneyland? To me, that's sicker than the wish to fulfill a normal physical desire.

...."off Track,"...."Decent Family".....

You are referring to a "SEXUALLY MATURE" Human Male, Sir!

The "Boy" is CLEARLY past interest in "Barbie Dolls & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!"

He apparently understands, empathizes with, & wishes--as a LAST REQUEST--to experience one of the more Powerful Human/Biologic Forces--Knowing his life will End soon, He Wished to experience That Which Generates our Species!

We are Dealing, Here, with a Dying Adolescent!---! It is a KINDNESS to grant him this "Experience!"

HE REQUESTED IT!!

i’m sorry but i don’t take issue with this at all...good for the boy...if i was in his situation i would have done the same...granted though i’m not going to lie...the thought of going to heaven as a pure innocent person might have been worth it as well...wouldn’t have to have to explain my case to go to heaven after i was with a hooker or something
