Response Blog to Tay Sachs Disease!

I just finished reading about a disturbing disease called "Tay Sachs" disease from "Saints Are The Best"'s blog. It's very interesting yet so horrible. You know that you have Tay Sachs disease if you have a red spot in your retina, or in other words, the back of your eye. Anyone that gets it isn't "scheduled" to live longer than 10 yrs. If you have it as a baby, you won't live past 4, and if you get it between 2 years of age and 12, you'll die before 16. This occurs because there is an absence of Hex-A, a fatty substance, or lipid that's called GM2 ganglioside. The worst part is that there is no treatment or cure! I feel very surprised that this disease isn't even well-known throughout the world, especially when 1 out of every 250 people will get it. I believe that we should nationally aware people on diseases like this, and try to end it.
