FYI the compensation fund was closed for claims from people who had confirmation on the death of their loved ones in the WTC. This would be an exception that would be honored if the fund chooses to because she wasn’t until now and is now officially a victim her family is eligible. We are talking $3-$4 million here.

The fund is still open for anyone experiencing sickness or has died from lung related diseases.

As far as heroes vs victims, she is a hero if she went to the site because she probably went to help out as a doctor. I doubt she had a meeting scheduled and just happened to be a victim if she did die there.

It’s too bad the brother and husband come out with stories so conflicting with the police account of some things and the family is in denial. Makes finding the truth even tougher.

I would err towards adding her to the 9/11 victim's list, but I can understand the heartburn re: making her out to be a hero. Not because of the alleged promiscuity, I'm sure many of the confirmed heros of that day also stepped out on their SOs, but simply because there is no solid proof she died that way.</p> <p>Were her alleged extramarital hookups with women? If they were that seems to make a violent end at the hand's of a lover seem less likely (not based on any stats, just my intuition)</p> This is a tough one.

Relax. I’m agreeing with you. Take a deep breath. I’m saying these parents have tunnel vision and see doctors as the only successful people on the face of the earth.

Yea there are "sets B,C....X,Y,Z" that have common sense and focus on the character of a person. But I am basing my statement on GENERAL KNOWLEDGE w/i our community that being a Doctor and marrying a Doctor enhances one's status and thus parents either influence their children's decision to become a doctor or marry one!!!!</p> HMF, I knew someone was gonna go there… Notice, I said “MOST Indian parents”….I have yet to hear “Oh my gosh, you found a Doctor to marry?????

This might be why:

“Sneha Philip often went out to bars, and sometimes spent the night at the homes of “strangers unknown to her husband.”
