If you feel so bad for them, maybe you should find a different word choice other than "crippled people." That is very disrespectful.
Maybe a better choice would have been "People with disabilities."

im very sorry... i didnt mean it that way,.. plz dont be mad. My heart really goes out for them

I have a nephew he is crippled unable to walk he was seen by specilazed doctor and was told that there is no treatment for his disease and also when they reach age of 15 they die. that could be true because his brother had same problem and died when he turn 15. this was in iraq and as you know they don't have good medical supplies and health care like the devolped country such as u.s. u.k. so my question is there any treatment for this disease?
thank you.
looking forward to hear from you.

Ok, the word "crippled" needs to be removed from vocabulary....

It may be more appropriate to say disabled but not everyone who is disabled is visually so.

Basil321; might I suggest that your nephew seek a second opinion. And if his dx is still the same that he will be unable to walk then the best thing to do is to accept it as such. Also you did not mention what disease your nephew has.

XtormentedchikX; Not everyone who has a disability, whether it be blindness, paralyzed, missing limb(s), disease, etc... Does NOT want pity but wants to be treated like a person and to be accepted as they are.

I have been given a disability of 30% however if you saw me you would not see it (most of the time) as my disability can be felt by me and when it is acting up, others may see or sense it but I do not want nor need pity.

Instead of feeling sorry for us...why not reseach the disease and empower yourself...

Look beyond the disability and get to know the person.

Wow...how can the word crippled offend anyone??? Silly...I am crippled and it sucks. Want to help? Pray for me.
