Question by Tyler: Which disease is more rigorous and hard to endure? HIV/AIDS or Cystic Fibrosis?
For my junior year AP English Language class, I need to write a 1,500-2,000 word research paper proving a scientific point. I want to prove one of the above stated diseases is more rigorous and hard to endure with symptoms, treatment, etc.but I can’t really decide which one is more of an “ugly” disease? Thank you!

Chosen answer:

Answer by Q
Does one have to be worse? Couldn’t you argue that one is worse in some respects, while the other is worse in other respects?

Cystic Fibrosis–because the feeling of not being able to breathe is horrible horrible horrible. And you’re guaranteed to die at a young age.

AIDS–because there is a lot of prejudice against those with AIDS. And you never know what sickness you’ll get next.

But to a certain extent you can’t compare suffering. And because both diseases have different courses to them, some with CF are far sicker than some with AIDS, while others with AIDS are far sicker than a given person with CF.
