Quotes:

Ben Byer: It's like being reborn. It really is a rebirth, you know? It's a new beginning. Subconsciously, I knew something was wrong with my body; I hadn't made that connection until the doctor told me. It was like thunder through my body- nature. We don't make the choice as to whether or not we want to be born and we don't make the choice as to whether or not we want to have a disease.
