#1 There's not much to say about this but that it sounds like lifestyle and environment does matter. Too bad talent does not mean intelligence in most cases.

#2 "Due to a specific genetic problem" > S-o-o then, AMY may had inherited her disposition to emphysema.

INTERESTING - the former CLassmate that AMY reminds me alot of also smoked in Junior High and High School, and allegedly also tried drugs on the side. 'SGOT ME WONDERING HOW SHE'S DOING IN HER LIFE HEALTHWISE.

#3 Call me an optimist but I'd like to see AMY get over this, successfully and for the better.

#4 Then she'll have somewhere to hang her morphine drip, I guess.

#5 For those who don't know, she was widely imitated by young ladies in costume, last Halloween. She should be ashamed of that. However, she is gifted with a strong voice that song writers love. What a waste.

#6 But if drugs mean more to her than breathing properly, then so be it.

Better words were never spoken. Good ridance to this piece of trash, no matter how good her voice is.

#7 I can't believe this skank is only 24!!!!
She looks, and I believed her to be, in her late 30's. I wouldn't touch her with a 10ft. cattle prod, and a Hepatitis booster shot!
Truly a GenY poster child.

#8 How much crack do you have to smoke to have emphysema by the time you're 24?

#9 Being a junky has its price - and a toll on the immune system. Smoking crack tears up the lungs.

Do the math.

#10 Keith Richards spent an entire lifetime developing "the look" that Amy has achieved at 24.

#11 The important thing to remember is that she is a victim.

#12 Of what?

STD's ???

#13 Victim of what? ... victim of her own stupidity, but that isn't really in vogue so I guess "the MAN" will have to do.

#14 Fred,

Can you get emphysema from too many tattoos?

That's another possibility:)

#15 I have shortness of breath after mild exertion, but it's not emphysema. Doctors tell me it's the result of having pneumonia eight times by the age of 18. Don't know Amy's history, but I do know that things that we do (and that happen to us) when we're "young and foolish" have a way of catching up with us. Maybe this will be enough for her to change, although I doubt it. She seems pretty stubborn to me.

#16 I think Highlander meant that in a tongue/cheek sarcastic sort of way gents.
