The moment in our lives when we read something makes us see it differently! Had I read this a while ago, it would just be a story. Reading it right now, when someone very close to me battles thru this HELL of a disease, makes me smile with Mona. And yet, I'm just standing full of hair in the middle of the room and probably know nothing...
It does make sense, and the fact that you have feelings about it means I achieved what I wanted. I think if a character's actions skew too clearly to the wrong, or the right, it's far less interesting, and human, than if it goes both ways or neither.

Thanks for sharing this story here.
Thank you for the wonderful words, and I'm really happy the story was able to have a positive effect on you!
I feel a lot of ways about this. No one was wrong, but everyone has a personal right, if that makes sense, and that right should be left personal.
