  Yes. What would my life be worth without theirs? Also, I don't have it in me to abandon anyone, especially for factors outside their control.

  Let me put it this way, my wife is my life, She is all I care about, she gave birth to 3 lovely children for us to share, care, and love and guide through life until they were old enough and wise enough to stand on their own two feet in the world.

  If my wife was terminally ill, which I thank God with all my heart that she isn't, I would stay with her to the end and we would count our blessings which are many, together, and at the end I would pray to God that he would take me soon after, so that I could be with my loving wife again and spend eternity together.

  yes.

  love is not measured by time but the moments you shared with that person.

  No questions asked, I'd be there.  For them, with them, and because of them.  Clearly if I love them, and they me, then I've been given a priceless gift and for that I see no reason to think that I could simply know that and walk away.

  I would for sure stay.  There is no doubt or question about it.  Love is such a precious thing and you should hold onto it for as long as you can.

  Wait... HOW contagious?
  
  Let's not get crazy here!
  Does talking on the phone from another room count?

  Its a hard question to answer without actually experiencing it.  I think everyone knows the right answer.  Of course no one is gonna predict abandoning their loved one that is terminally ill or handicapped or mutilated.  Of course everyone will think they would do the right thing.  But unless you have been in those shoes I think its impossible to tell. 

  However I do believe that if you really truly love someone you would want nothing more than to take care of them for eternity the thought of leaving them behind in unspeakable circumstance would crush the spirit and soul of a real lover. 

  If it were me I wouldnt trust anyone to give my loved one the proper care.  I admit im sure I would think about leaving them, but I dont think I would be able too.
