Host: It's probably good to find a group, if the kid had a certain disease and they might be on the same situations because the real expert is someone who went through process before you, is that true?
Steven P. Shelov: They are often very helpful. Support groups of this either if it's they died of a particular disease that has its own sets of support groups, you can join either online or in an actual face-to-face meeting. All of that is very much helpful to hear other people who went through it or going through with it, so you can share feelings and the same emotions.
Host: A lot of these social website like MySpace have actually groups and they have ways to say, well let's make people aware of such a weird condition or whatever it is and the process helps you to heal a little bit too. Is that right?
Steven P. Shelov: Absolutely, there are specific groups often that had been developed around specific diagnosis of either rare diagnosis or ones that have children who die as a result of that, whether it's American Heart Association of pediatric or cardiology, those groups of kids, who died in general heart disease or the weird metabolic diseases, take advantage of both the information as well as the kind of support that those families will give you because their experiences will help you go through your experience.
Host: Thank you very much.
Steven P. Shelov: Thank you.
