Cancer Meme

[ffutures]

I think that cancer is a bad thing, since it has killed several members of my family. I do not believe that posting a meme saying that cancer is a bad thing does any good whatever. I do not believe that trying to guilt people out by doing so helps at all.

If you want to do something about cancer, donate money to medical research, taking care to find a charity that appears to be doing some good.

Please don't pass this on. Guilt trip memes are nobody's friend, and part of the idea of free will is that people get to make their own decisions.

Yeah. Also the whole bravery/courage/battle thing comes very close to blaming the victim....

Hadn't even thought about that but you're right, of course.
