  1. I would cure Alzheimer's. I think it is just so sad. I can't imagine someone I love getting it and then them not knowing who I am.

  4. I would cure Lyme's disease because my dog had it. It was very scary. And for humans, it is a very painful, awful way to go.

  5. I would get rid of Cholera if i could get rid of any disease in the world. I would get rid of that disease because a lot of people in other countries like Africa can't drink a lot of there water because it is not clean.

  6. if i could cure a disease it would probably be Alzheimers because when people forget things its not only hard for them but the people they surround themselves with.

  7. I would cure Emphysema, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease because my Grandpa had it, and we didn't like having to see him try and take breaths. It's hard to see someone you love in such bad shape.

  8. I know it sounds silly but I would get rid of acne for teens. Although some people will argue that it isn't an actual disease, it is. It would get rid of a lot of low self esteem in teens in high school and middle school. Also might reduce teasing.

  9. I would get rid of dementia and alzheimer's because my cousin's Grandpa and to see what he goes through and all the hardships their family has I just think nobody or no family should go through that. It's a terrible disease and it is the one disease I could cure.

  11. If I could get rid of any disease, I would choose Alzheimer's. When someone gets this terrible disease, it is very hard on them and the people who love them. It could happen over night or could be a very slow process. Its saddening to see someone go through.

  12. I would want to cure asthma because it causes shortness of breath, chest tightness and coughing. It would be good to get a cure for it because a lot of people have it.

  13. I would cure emphysema because it causes shortness of breath, so it makes it very hard on people to breathe. Even though I don't know any people who had it, I can only imagine what their families go through.

  14. If I could cure any disease, I would cure heart disease because it is the leading cause of death in the United States. It affects so many people along with their families, as well as so many other diseases.

  15. If I could cure any disease, it would likely be AIDS. Though it doesn't kill anybody directly, it allows otherwise easily treatable diseases to kill people by the millions, especially in developing areas such as Africa.

  16. If any disease i would cure AIDS. This disease kills so many people around the world...it is a very terrible and relentless disease that leaves children with out parents and family without a loved one...I know the majority of us joke about it. But in reality it is a fact that more than 33.3 million people live with every single day.

  17. I would cure any flesh eating disease because I believe that would be a very painful way to die, and nobody deserves to die that way.

  18. I would cure deafness, because i think it would be really hard to learn and communicate with others. It affects people and they probably have a hard time in school.

  19. If I could cure any disease, I would cure Alzheimer's disease. It is a slow process usually, I just had my great aunt pass away last month from it. She was only 66 years old and she suffered from it for about 6 or 7 years in the hospital. It is very sad to watch and to live with. The reason we found out my great aunt Mary had it was because she worked at the shoe dept. in Walmart, whenever we would say hi or talk about the family she wouldn't say anything because she forgot who we were. When the years went on, she couldn't open her eyes, feed herself, talk, walk, just about anything having to do with her muscle movement.

  21. I would cure all types of heart disease because my grandpa and my uncle have had heart problems and its hard to see them struggle to go places with there bad hearts

  22. I would cure blindness because people who can see would be able to see all the things in the world like colors. Thier are 1.2 million people who are leagally blind in America alone. All those people who can't see and reley on seeing eye dogs and walking canes would miss out on all the major events happening around the world.

  23. If I had the ability to cure a disease, I would cure Multiple Sclerosis. Ms effects a lot of people in the world. There is not a lot of things you can do to help it. It effects your body slowly, and can put you in a wheel chair for the rest of your life. It is really hard for the people that have this because it effects their everyday life. It slows them down, and it's hard for them to walk.

  24. I would cure S.I.D.S or for those of you who dont know what S.I.D.S is, it is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. There has been a lot of discusion about this, but the cause is still unknown to us. Babies die suddenly, looking as if they have been beaten to death. I feel that this is something that needs to be cured.

  25. If I could cure any disease, I would cure blindness. A family friend of mine has been blind ever since he was a young child. He wishes everyday that he could have just seen somethings to have somewhat of an image to go by when people describe things to him. It is sad that people who are blind miss out on so much. It is very sad to think that people who are blind miss out on raising their own child and other important events. My friend got married a few years back and it is sad to know that he didn't get to see his own wife in the dress. It isn't a horrible disease like a lot of others but it is one I would like to cure.

  26. If i had the ability to cure a disease, i would cure blindness, because i think people that are blind have life hard. They aren't able to see whats going on around them. They can hear it, but that is no fun then seeing whats going on around you. I think blind people have a very rough life because they cant see the world and where they live at. This disease isn't really horrible, but its not fun to have. Its not something that people wish to have.

  27. If i could cure one disease, I would cure Alzheimers. My great grandma has it, and its sad to see how it effects her life. It effects everyone else also, but you see it the most in the person who has it.

  28. If I could cure a disease, I would cure Crohn's Disease, and Multiple sclerosis. My mom has Crohn's Disease and it's very painful. There is different stages of Crohn's Disease, Some are worse then others. It's very hard to watch my mom be in pain all the time. You can live with it, if you have the right medications. The Multiple sclerosis is a disease that is painful. The communication between the brain and the body begin to weaken. Eventually in the end they can no longer take care of themselves its either to painful or they forget how to. Both of those diseases are very hard to live with. Also its very difficult to watch family or friends who have it go through it.

  29. If I could cure a disease it would probably be Alzheimer's. The reason for that is because my grandma has it and it's just sad to watch her mind slowly wither away. In the mornings she acts as if she doesn't have any problems with memory trouble, but as the day progresses her mind gets weaker and it's just sad.

  30. I would cure Alzheimer's. That reason being is I don't think someone should have to go through seeing the one they love not even know who they are, or barely remember them..

  31. If I could cure any disease I would cure Diabetes. I would cure it because a lot of people have it and they have to live every day wondering if the food they eat will make their blood sugar go up or worry that their blood sugar will get to low. 25.8 million people have it in the United States and 1.9 million more were diagnosed last year.

  32. If i could cure anything in I would cure Alzheimer. I want to cure that because I have a personal experience. I know people who have it. It makes me sad how that can't remember people who have been close to them, and how they can't remember a lot of the important things in their life.

  33. If I could cure any disease, I would cure Asthma and Diabetes. I would cure Asthma because I have it, my great grandma had it and my brother also has it. It is very hard to breathe when it acts up and my great grandma died from it and it was painful watching her try to breathe. I would also cure diabetes because my grandma has it and she got both of her legs cut off from having sores at the bottom of her feet from diabetes. She also has to make sure her blood sugar is not high or low.

  34. If I could cure any disease in the world I would cure heart disease, because it is the leading cause of death in the United States. Not only does it affect the individual, but it also affects the people around them.

  35. If I could cure any disease i would cure diabeaties. i know many people that have it and it is very hard to cope with it. many people die from it because they dont know they have it. It hurts me to see my own family members in pain when they give themselves their shots.

  36. I would cure Altzheimers. It is a very bad disease and I hate seeing someone having to suffer through it because there is no cure.

  37. I would cure diabetes, because it would be painful taking a shot every day and having to take a shot every day. Also can be costly.

  38. I would cure Alzheimers Disease. i have seen people with that and it is so sad. I would hate for someone to have it in my family and not being able to remember things. It is just sad to me.

  41. I would cure diabetes, due to the fact that it can lead to so many other problems such as blindness, amputations, etc. A few of my family members have been effected by it, and it's sad to see how tough it is to go through.

    I would cure heart disease because most adults will have it. The way to prevent it is to exercise for 30 minutes and follow your healthy long lifestyle and you can avoid getting that heart disease.

  44. If i made a cure it would be diabetes because my grandpa has it and he hates every single bit of it because he cant eat the all the sweets he use to eat.

  45. I would cure diabetes because people that have it usually die before people that dont have it and that is not fair at all. Eat right and exercise right and u wont get it.
