Dinner at David's
David is living his life by believing he will walk soon. He does the research and understands the science. A cure could be discovered at any moment. Sean and most have you also believe he will walk again soon.
David's mother has passionately argued at the dinner table that David can not live his life on a hope and prayer that he will walk again. He must move on and accept who he is now as he may be this way until he dies.
answer the following questions:
1. Is David's mother right to think this way and to want David to think the same way?
2. Should David stop researching and living his life expecting to walk again soon and learn how to live life in a wheelchair - accept who he is?
3. What should Sean do? encourage David and support his belief he will walk soon OR take the same position his mother has taken and help David accept his new reality.
