Sickle-Cell Anemia Song

A friend and I cover "D'yer wanna be a spaceman" by Oasis, but for biology class.

Yes, I know I got the guitar riff a bit wrong.

Lyrics:
Sickle-cell anemia is a harmful disease
The blood cells are rigid and they break with such ease.
It's mainly found in Africa, a chronic condition,
Mutations are found on the chromosome 11.

Chorus:
If your child, if your child,
Has sickle-cell anemia, then you don't need to fret,
Yes, they will experience pain,
But in the end it will be all right.
They'll take drugs to no obstruction occurs,
And maybe someday science will find out a cure
For sickle-cell anemia, and everything will be fine.

There's not a lot of treatment, besides analgesics
But you can live a normal life: there's no death-threat-ning risks
You can enjoy the sunshine, but some tests should be taken
Amniotic fluid and blood tests are the way to determine...

where in the world did you get the idea that if they take drugs eeverything will be fine. Sickle cell Anemia is a very painful and hard disease to have. In some patients is is handicapping. I should know I have Sickle Cell and I dont know what it means to be without pain.

[yemenim]

The intent of the song is not to be authoritative, but I'm sorry it isn't as factually accurate as we wanted.

[darayag]

:) I have Sickle Cell and this song is non realatable, but good job for trying ... You did more than some peps with the disease !!!

When you wrote this, did you know that 99 percent of sickle cell patients die before the age of thirty? You can't just take drugs and make it better. They treat anemia with blood transfusions, but all that does is cause the body to develop antibodies and make transfusions even harder. I knew a girl that died at 19 from SCA because she aquired so many antibodies they could no longer find matching blood. Have a heart and take this blasphemy off you tube.

I live with Sickle-cell anemia and I'm a 13 year old, I was not offended because you all tried, and I can accept the fact that you all made an effort and were Learning about it at the time. Hoping you know now that its not exactally like that, and for all the people who keep say they were Inconsiderate, Stupid, dumb, or any other negative coments involved... You guys should have should have been considerate and instead of insulting them help the and explain where they were wrong.

[discalis]

[onemulatto]

[shantiec]

Ok I have the disease and u guys made it sound as if it's nothing u don't have it so u don't kno which is y I'm not completely pissed at u guys but seriously it's a huge deal, b4 u start saying things do more research and ask someone on yahoo answers or something wats it really like cuz u guys really don't have a clue.

[keabiasis]

One again:

I apologize for the inaccuracy of my lyrics. Yes, I do only have a secondary on sickle cell anemia seeing as i'm only in gr 12 now. I apologize to and respect those who fight through sickle cell anemia disease. I just paraphrased the page on sickle cell in my text book and what was on wiki, in a time period of 10 minutes

Once again, please accept my apologies
