“people who are personally afflicted by some life-changing situation are selfish and self-absorbed for wanting to do something to help others in a similar position?”

No, they want everyone else to do something for them, i.e. spend other people’s money on ways to cure themselves. That’s a pretty substantial difference from what you are saying.

And don’t say ‘screw Christopher Reeve’. He was a very good person before his accident, and only became self-obsessed after his accident. I would be the same way if I got paralyzed. I’d be clamoring that all medical grants should be about curing paralysis. It’s still plain old selfishness though.
