Not quite right here. Primary amyloidosis may be caused by complications, such as liver disease, in which liver transplant may help improve symptoms and stop the disease from growing worse.

No you can't, and it doesn't make him "pro-money," or anything else.

Once born, pro-life has no meaning?

I am not pro-life, I am pro-choice, so not sure how this is a test for me. :/
I feel horrible for their situation, but they are still here illegally and should in no way come before those who are here legally and are waiting for medical care. Illegals should not get anything free in this country, IMHO.

Pro-life even in the context of abortion is a politically slanted meaningless term. The more correct description would be anti-choice. The anti-choice movement may attempt to dress up their rhetoric by claiming faux compassion for the fetus and "unborn" children, but they really only care about humiliating and punishing women that they feel are getting away with sexual behavior that they believe is immoral.

Perhaps you want to do some research of your own before posting erroneous information.

Familial ATTR amyloidosis can now be cured with liver transplantation. This option requires an accurate diagnosis of the specific protein that causes the disease.

I'm willing to bet that this thread stays relatively quiet. I hope I'm wrong, but from the first few comments on this thread, it seems the trend is heading towards the idea that Christian beliefs, including the right to life, do not extend past citizens of this country.

And in regards to nonsenseguy, I'm going to assume you're simply trolling. Anyone who tries to pass of the idea that pro life is a term exclusive to abortion is either dishonest, stupid, or trolling. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Remember:

Deuteronomy 10:19

19 So then, show love for those foreigners, because you were once foreigners in Egypt.


and:



Exodus 23:9

9 Don’t oppress an immigrant. You know what it’s like to be an immigrant, because you were immigrants in the land of Egypt.

It is a tuff spot for the person with the liver issue but the care of American citizens comes before the care of illegal immigrants.
