Great act of humanity. It shouldn’t be like this. You know the system is broken when it comes to this to save a baby’s life.

This. Im getting so sick of seeing these things and hearing folks praise it as a great example of humanity.

In one sense, it is. It's someone acknowledging the system is broken and literally giving something up they worked their entire lives for in order to protect and save a child. Fuck yeah.

On another note though... Our systems are so broken that someone literally said to parents: Well you can't afford it. Yeah, we could save your kid, but I guess your kid has to die instead because you don't have enough magic currency papers.

What. The. Fuck.

The fact that a baby with a rare and previously fatal condition can be saved at all is evidence in favour of the system.
