Is it really sick?

I don't personally wish Bill Gates to have ALS. But I wouldn't mind challenging him or others to attempt the experience for a day. He can afford buying a chair and assistance devices (and then donate it to the MDA) and here are the groundrules. Bill live the life of a person with ALS for 24 hours. Don't move. Don't talk. Don't eat anything solid. Just blink. When its time for a potty break, hire someone to change you. Have someone lift you in and out of bed, wipe your nose, tie your shoes, brush your teeth and on and on.

Would that kind of experience be "bad" or character building? Maybe neither but if more people (especially those with $$$) realized the kind of hell that their neighbors are going through perhaps there would actually be progress towards a cure.

Come on Bill. I know you can do it!
