Seriously depressing show on HBO...

[LadyCrow]

I just finished watching a show on HBO tonight. I don't recall the name of it, but a good portion of the show was about children (babies-18 years old) that have been effected in some way by the '86 disaster in Chernobyl.

Oh my ****ing god, it was horrible. I don't cry when watching a show, but I couldn't stop myself. Those poor, poor babies.

I thought I was having issues today, but after watching those children, my problems are nothing compared to what they have to live with.

It makes me begin to seriously wonder if human euthanasia would ever become legal.

(I just found the name for it on the HBO website; it was called Chernobyl Heart, & here is the blurb about the show:

"On April 26, 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl power station in the Ukraine sent 190 tons of highly radioactive uranium and graphite into the atmosphere in the world's worst nuclear accident. More than 18 years later, the effects of radiation continue to plague the area through cancer, birth defects and a heart defect that bears the name of the tragedy. Filmmaker Maryann De Leo's Oscar(R)-winning documentary short examines the still-lingering impact of the explosion. Harrowing new footage of the reactor site amplifies the film's impact as it focuses on the invisible, but deadly trail radiation has left behind while chronicling the work of Adi Roche whose Chernobyl Children's Project provides a first-hand look at the devastating effects." )

Believe me when I tell you, friends, that if you happen to watch the show, it'll be something that you will never forget...
