What is wrong with you? What does her death have to do with you? That was one of the most disgusting, least human, comments I've ever seen written on HN.

What does her death has to do with you? What does her death has to do with all of us?

What disgusts me is the lack of tact and consideration of editors and maybe her parents - the first are ready to exploit the death of a 16 years old girl to make some uniques, the seconds (I really hope that's not the case) are ready to put their child on the cover for some advertising.

Have you considered that their motive may have been to inspire? Life is very frail, and this young girl's accomplishments in life may have a profound positive impact on other children for generations to come. How can you not honor that?
