I have dound the genetics of the disease, signs & symptoms, and treatment. Now I need to find the history of it (like when it was discovered, who discovered it etc...) and I can't seem to find it anywhere! Please answer soon otherwise I'm headed off to the library! :)

Here you go!
Have your library find this book:
The History of a Genetic Disease: Duchenne muscular dystrophy or Meryon's disease By Alan E.H. Emery and Marcia L.H. Emery. 248 pp., illustrated. London, Royal Society of Medicine Press, 1995. $35. ISBN 1-85315-249-3.

My wife and her three brothers suffer from myotonic muscular dystrophy, and according to them that's bad enough even though they all still have most of their mobility -- they can all walk and move fairly normally but have poor balance and trouble gripping things. I can only imagine how terrible it must be for someone with Duchenne's, and I would certainly understand if they wanted to do an assisted suicide. But euthanizing someone? Last I checked, euthanization meant taking someone's life without their consent...I would NEVER agree with that.

The library sounds like a good choice to me.
