Wow! I am very impersed with all of your replies. Thank you so much for wha tyou all had to say. I really want to give someone a best answer but it is to hard. I am really touched by Michael C. and Grimalkin's replys. I feel so awful for you Michael C. it must have been and still is hard for you to deal with your loss. Love is a blessing that stays with us forever. I wish the best of luck and happiness in your life. Gimalkin I think you are very strong for staying by your wifes side and helping her out through a very tough situation. I know of several men who could not handle the pain and misery of knowing that their wife was dying so they left. The stronger you are for your wife only makes things better for the both of you. Stay strong and love your wife forever, even when she is gone she will still love you. God bless the both of you and I wish you all a Great Christmas. Thanks you so much for your replies.

If you love some one why would it matter. It depends on how you feel about the person and how they feel about you. To do it out of pity though may be a No No. I like your question. When I met my wife she had a terminal illness w/ nor cure just treatment. she lived for 10 years. The happiest years of my life. so as i said it depends on how you get along. She died Jan 5 2006 soon it will be a year. You know I am so glad an honored to have had the time we had together. we lived every day as if it was our last. I still love her so much and i am so proud of her.

If I really liked the person I would still engage in a relationship with them . I would also be aware that the relationship is just temporary but nothing is ever promised . I would try to love the person for who they are and not what they are going through . Alot of times people going through things like that want to feel normal as possible . I guess I would do it because if it were me I wouldnt want to be alone either .

If a person had full, clear awareness that the illness was terminal and yet they still had a strong, mutual interest in each other...then yes, go ahead and date. Just keep a clear head and open heart that the person with the illness in on your soul path for just a limited portion of time, enjoy the relationship for what it is, absorb the experience, express heart interest responsibiliby. And, communicate, communicate, communicate very clearly early on, and throughout, the relationship.

Finding that you have feelings for someone regardless if they are ill or not ---is feelings just the same--besides that ,who ever knows what our life span will be??? Passing because of cancer or a car wreck--is there one more dead than the other?? No--- and so I guess if you want to be safe and never have to face the loss of one that you love then you need never find someone to care for and live a lonely life---

Love can be blind. It's better to love than to never loved at all. What you feel in your heart is what matters most. Do you know how strong you are? The answer to that question should help you decide. What one can offer another in this lifetime may be enough for eternity.

You don't say if your involved already. If you are support the other. If you are considering it. NO I WOULD NOT. Sounds cruel, but why set yourself up for a loss, unless you are that strong and can handle the pain of losing a loved one.

I used to be sick when I was 10... my doctors told me that I only had about 3-4 days to live. idk what happened but I just started getting better and now I'm 15 years old.
But if I were to get sick with the same thing now I know that I would not live, but I wouldn't want that to keep someone from loving me and dating me.
Does that make sense?

I think I would, If I wanted to be with them and they wanted to be with me, I would date them and make the best of it. The only problem I would have is knowing every time I looked at them that i was gonna have to let them go sooner rather than later.

Yes, so long as I could not catch it. Because it is better to of loved and lost than to of never loved at all. and everyone should be loved.

I wouldn't break up with some one that was terminal. It would be hard for me to start dating someone that i knew was going to leave me. I would be scaird to fall in love then lose them. I probably would though.
