lets just hope its not something really nasty like spinocerebellar degeneration...had a patient with that and its really horrible to watch someone (particularly when they haven't had a chance to live long enough) lose every ability piece by piece and then get to a point where others are making decisions for them...it sucks!

Apologies much..it's still weighing on my mind. Any talk of degnerative disorders upsets me.

Inara's fatal disease could create a happy ending for the seventh season of Firefly. The entire crew, except Inara, is emigrating to Earth to escape the Alliance. Inara is going into suspended animation while nano-bots work for many decades repairing her. It's ultra sci-fi! Without suspended animation, Inara would die before she is cured.
For the trip to Earth the Serenity crew, just like Inara, will also be in suspended animation. River brilliantly suggests that Inara come with them.
“Much better than going nowhere, sleeping in a cold storage room of an old hospital. Inara, don't you want to wake up surrounded by your friends?” River uses her big, brown, expressive eyes. “Come with me if you want to live.”
Inara asks Simon. He confirms it is possible to continue Inara's treatment on a starship.
Jayne gets crude. “Inara sleeps with all of us. What do you think, Cap'n?”
“I think I'm putting you out in the vacuum soon as your eyes close. You might want to stay awake the entire trip.”
The Captain turns to Inara. “Could be fun. See the Grand Canyon. Eiffel Tower. Taj Mahal. Sydney Opera House. The tourist traps.” Inara accepts the Captain's offer.
That's my idea of a happy ending. And because it is an open ending, Firefly could continue in novels written by Joss Whedon on Earth, about Earth. Double rainbow.

...Yeah, okay. It would be fun.
I've never really liked Earth that was storylines because of my understanding that Earth was completely trashed, with either polluted fiery rain or nuclear weapons (interpretations could go either way).
But I guess people have Earth recover from complete environment decimation after only a few years/centuries in lots of fictional stories.
There could be storylines about them trying to make contact with any survivors, and horrible mutant species (Bad Horse, anyone?), and what's more frontier and western than going off into the sunset to settle in some brave new land, away from the threat of Alliance control (and the Pax)?
It's not how I would end Firefly, but the more I hear that idea of yours, two, the more I like it.
