I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead
Wonderful. If I had lost my eye sight, I don't know what i'd do, at at age 19! I have tried walking around with my eyes closed to understaqnd blindness. It's not that easy. I take my healthy non-disabled body for granted way too much. Way to go Derek! Let's hope for a medical aceivement!
I feel sorry for him and what ever siblings he has. That's stupid that they won't let him have those records.

Stupid people suck.
Now this is the kind of news that more of the media should cover. This guy is very inspirational to others and I admire his courage to continue what he must love to do.

LHON (Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy) is an inherited condition from the mother, not the father.
But it doesn't make what he said any less stupid.
