Spinocerebellar Ataxia

Post by Mirage_GSM »

It seems a cure for Saki's condition might not be too far off.

I just saw a report on a successful treatment of an infant suffering from Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1
The treatment seems to be effective after only one injection - though that one injection is priced at a ridiculous 2,1 million $.
Luckily the child was born in Germany so the treatment was covered by health insurance.

Type 1 is probably not the kind Saki suffers from (or she wouldn't have survived beyond infancy) but apparently similar treatments of other types are also in the works i.e. for Type 3 (which might be what Saki is suffering from).

So if Saki manages to hold on till 2020 she might be okay after all.

I can just picture Saki going, "Wait. I'm going to live? Man, that just throws a monkey wrench into everything I had planned."

Think of all the fanfic authors: "Wait. She's going to live? Man, that just throws a monkey wrench into everything I had planned."

That might just be a bit more accurate. :wink:

Oh fuck, this will destroy everything I would have planned for her for a future FF.

(Joke asides: If this thing becomes real, it will be a wonderful news)

And then it fails to work for her and her plans that she made to live a full life are gone and she has to go back to her old plans :D
What if the real 'Best girl' was the friends we made along the way?
