If anything, she is saving future children from the debt it takes to facilitate the ensurance of life after 55. Diabetics are quite responsible human beings, really.

to be truly responsible we should have a moratorium on having kids at all. but that's another thread

Not really. Diabetes is a costly condition to manage and creates or materially contributes to so many other conditions that can be incredibly costly. If they were being fiscally responsible for their children then they would off themselves once they were no longer earning more then they consume; rather, then allowing themselves to detriorate over an extended (albeit shorter then a person in good health) period of time. Maybe if they sought no treatment for their disease or associated sequale one could argue they are being responsible; however, that is rarely the case.

I deny an eating disorder being a diagnosable illness in as much as I deny someone going to the Dr. and saying "I'm sad a lot" being diagnosed with a Major Depressive Disorder.
