Not that it will matter to the trolls, but it's worth noting:

The vast majority of championing for this cause is happening on behalf of Amit, not by Amit himself. He was actually quite reluctant to be public about his condition, and has only stepped forward at the encouragement of people close to him.

While Amit is at the center of this effort, the narrative has quickly widened to address the much larger issue of underrepresented populations in the bone marrow database. The impact of the efforts inspired by Amit's situation will be felt far beyond that of one person.

Even as he fights for his life undergoing intense chemotherapy and all kinds of difficulties most of us have no appreciation for, he continues to do the best he can to help people.

Anyone who does that deserves not just our respect and admiration, but our attention and participation.

If anyone feels like being self righteous, they might do well to channel that energy into doing something that helps the world instead of leaving insidious comments on a thread.
