Is it ever good form to gloat about someone's health problems.

There is a politician who has major health problems and is probably going to die. I don't like his politics. I came across today, a load of people gloating about his health problems and saying that his impending demise was 'karma'. It's just really distasteful, whatever your political views. Where is the humanity?

I think it’s a rotten thing to do.

I disagree with a lot of what he has said and done, but I’m remembering that nobody is exempt from the fear one must feel with a terminal diagnosis. Some things are too big and too bad to gloat about.
