Mom with Cancer Loses Custody of Kids

For several months, Alaina Giordano, a North Carolina mom fighting Stage 4 breast cancer, has also been fighting to keep custody of her children. It was ordered that her two children must move to Chicago, 800 miles away from Durham, to live with their father, Kane Snyder, before the start of the school year. Although, Alaina was proven to be their ultimate caregiver, it was not enough for her to keep them. She states, "I'm forced to make a decision between seeing my kids every day and not living as long to be their mom." She has come to believe that she is being discriminated against because of her illness. To this day, she continues to fight for her children and demonstrates how strong women can be.

Should those with diseases have the responsibility or capability to take care of others as well as themselves? Or should they only worry about their own life? Do you agree with the Supreme Court's decision to remove Giordano's children from her custody because of her sickness?
