How much more dangerous would swine flu be for someone that has multiple sclerosis?

The answer is "it depends. " MS, by itself, does not affect the immune system, discounting the autoimmune response which triggers it. Other immune function still occurs normally.

This means that if a person with MS catches the H1N1 virus (the swine flu), he is affected the same as someone without MS The medications, however, that the person with MS is taking can potentially cause an increased risk of infection. If the person is taking immunosuppressant medications, such as Novantrone, the person is more susceptible to any viral or bacterial infection because of the induced decrease in immune system activity. Users of the immunomodulating drugs such as Rebif, Betaseron, Copaxone, Avonex, or Tysabri are not any more susceptible to viral or bacterial infections than someone without MS.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
