thats an easy thing to say except most peoples "bad elements" cant kill them on the spot. without warning, like it almost did me. Marfans is a serious condition that what most people dont know is that once, and even if they catch it in time, aortic aneurisms can reoccur, without warning. not to mention the other perks of this illness like spontaneous retina detachment, and the beloved Thoracic Pneumathorax. its a never ending process of trials and tribulation. if phelps has this condition, bless him for being able to push his body as hard as he does.

and YES...joey ramone DID have marfans.
