What I had difficulty with, in the original abstract, was the language, that there just wasn't enough information to make direct correlations. Social circumstances weren't able to be compiled, and though it mentioned a higher rate of suicide, there were no statistical numbers to back up the statement.

One of the things, I usually grapple with, upon reading that someone famous has passed away(or even not so famous), is that MS-related. Not necessarily the disease itself that was the cause of death.

Did one catch pneumonia and pass on, due to having a weakened auto-immune system, or was it just from being elderly?

Was it not from being on DMD's? Because there is the DMD correlation made, in the article, I question, where the study was funded? What was the paper trail? Is it a corporate push, to get more people onto DMDs? That's the business major in me, questioning that side of literature.

Otherwise, the NYTimes article was interesting.

I do appreciate sharing. And conversations like these, are usually welcome in my book! Knowledge is Power, in my book!
