Why do parents bring children into the world when there is such a huge risk of them suffering and then dying at a young age? How can they be so selfish? Cystic fibrosis is one of the worst genetic diseases. One seventeen yr old stated it was like trying to breathe through a straw. His parents knew they both carried the gene, and yet they still went ahead and had a kid, knowing their child will die by suffocation, or his lungs will hemorrhage and he will bleed to death. It was disgusting. In one generation, the world could be rid of some of the most horrible diseases, if people with defective genes would just quit breeding.

Come on people, give the family and doctors a break! No one in 1971 realized what this boy's life was going to be like. It had never been done before.

Meanwhile, religion has nothing to do with parents' desire to preserve the lives of their children, or doctors' fulfilment of their Hippocratic Oath to preserve life. Antitheistic fanatics who are parents or doctors are just as apt to react that way, as religious fanatics. You're human too, you know.

Weed out the useless ones, this child should've died soon as he was born. There is no reason for people like this to live.

I knew David, I lived down the street from him. We would always visit him on Halloween, he would pass out candy. I wished I would have come over more often to play. RIP David

After the birth, in 1971, only 10 seconds later, David was directly put into his germ-free cocoon prepared for him to spend his life there.

Before anything could get into his bubble, it was disinfected: food, water, air, clothes, diapers.

The only contact with David was possible through special plastic gloves attached to the walls.

The motors that kept the bubble always inflated were very loud and it was kinda an obstacle for David to talk to other people, to hear and listen. When David was three years old, a playroom was added to his bubble but he refused to go there. So the psychologist Mary Murphy convinced him to go there by asking to take a look at her goldfish she held.
