[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a nice home, or healthy kids, or taking a nice vacation isn't a special right afforded to only one group of people/  So no . . . [/quote]

Actually it is.[/quote]

[b]Really?  There are certain groups who only have unhealthy children? [/b] I wasn't aware.  [/quote]

A child doesn't get cancer because he wasn't blessed. A nice home, whatever that  is for each person, didn't happen because people were blessed. Living in the first world with access to medical  care,  education,  housing,  food, etc., mean that one does,  indeed have privilege.  [/quote]

Does a child get cancer because he is not privileged? Do rich white kids escape cancer because they are privileged?[/quote]

In some cases, yes, such as cancers related to environmental contaminants. [/quote]

"...the causes of DNA changes in most childhood cancers are not known."
