An Ethical Problem for Chidi

As I am home sick, I wrote another piece today as well.

This one deals with the ethical questions surrounding some interesting new research for a cure for Sickle Cell and other genetic diseases.

I don't have answers- just questions and hypotheticals on this one.

The Fine Line between Empathy and Pity

To anyone who follows this blog, I wrote another story on Medium titled The Fine Line between Empathy and Pity.

It basically talks about my thoughts on how to handle the news that someone you know is going through a health crisis or major life event, and my own personal experience of when I had my first flare, and how that diagnosis affected my family. I would love it if you would take a moment to read it.
