I seem to recall that happening about ten years ago. People with
AIDs were getting these kind of loans. The idea was that, death
was pretty much guaranteed within a few years. Then, advances in
medications enabled some of them physically improve, and keep
living on and on. Especially since so many of them were
relatively young, and may have been in decent health before the
AIDS symptoms started.
I wonder if there are investors out there, still waiting.
