[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What disease is incompatible with life but yet the host lives to 18+ and can attend college??[/quote]

You've never met someone with type I diabetes have you? Make a mistake with insulin and you're dead pretty quick. Lots of people live with diseases like that. [/quote]
Diabetes is not typically referred to as “incompatible with life.”

Incompatible with life is a controversial phrase because there are people who survive years with a condition that typical results in quick death, but it typically is used for things like anencephaly; birth defects or medical conditions so severe that the baby dies very shortly (minutes, hours, maybe days) after birth, if they even survive the birth.

A medical condition like diabetes, or a severe allergy, which could quickly kill a person if a mistake is made, is still not typically considered incompatible with life. [/quote]

This.  Please don’t misuse this phrase.  My child was diagnosed with a fatal defect that was incompatible with life.  He died.  Quickly.[/quote]
