He should live for years and be forced to have the same medical plan he wants to force on us.
Cancer is a serious problem. May we soon have a cure for this most viscous killer. It does not only strike those who are not righteous. Many a great scholar has died of Cancer. I fear that it may be cancer which takes my step-father and my father also...Life and death are in Hashems hands... He is the ultimate judge..
My grandfather died of prostate cancer. He wasn't the greatest guy in the world. In fact he had a lot of flaws which are sometimes hard to forgive. However he was a World War II vet and served his country with honor. I think it's wrong to wish cancer on people as casually as people on this site often do.
