I didn`t start the thread because `someone off the telly` is dying. Whether she is on the telly is neither here nor there, what she does as a job is pointless in this. The point was/is, someone is dying when she really shouldn`t be. She has an illness that could have been prevented. No doubt there`s thousands of others that this has happened to, but since they`re not `on the telly` we don`t hear about it. Of course i don`t know Jade, and my reaction has absolutely nothing to do with me thinking i do know her. or my own fears of mortality. I`m well aware that we`re all going to die, personally i don`t fear it, i just hope it doesn`t come too soon. ..again, back to the reason for the thread, it`s came soon for her when it didn`t have to be like that. If i was in her position (meaning in the media) i`d probably do the same thing. Because as that is her `job` so to speak, she`s able to make sure her kids are going to be ok when she`s gone. She`s basically `working from her death bed` I fail to see why that is bad taste? In my opinion, the folk that`s watching her every grimace then saying `it`s bad taste`, they`re the ones that are feared of their own mortality`
