Hospice helped dying man lose his virginity

[Oeditpus Rex]

The hed's pretty ribald, but it's actually a sweet, touching story.


A young disabled man who receives care for his life-limiting illness at a hospice run by a nun spoke yesterday of his decision to use a prostitute to experience sex before he dies.

Sister Frances Dominica gave her support to 22-year-old Nick Wallis, who was born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Sufferers usually die by their thirties.

1. Unusual compassion and sensitivity

from a nun. That penguin should be commended.

2. I think it's great that he had all those people supporting his decision.

And he's quite right; many people without disabilities don't think about things like this.

3. He didn't happen to suddenly get better shortly after, did he?

...Just checking... :shrug:

Cool nun, too. :)

5. They did this in a episode of "Scrubs" once

Ted the lawyer nailed this dying virgin to fulfill her dying wish while Carla and Dr. Reid kept Dr. Kelso at bay.
