No, Kathy, its not wrong of you to do that.  It's human.  I'll gladly
go on record as saying I have done the same thing at times in my
life.  What is so very very wrong, and almost unforgivable is for the
world to make us think that we are any the less human and deserving of
love, respect and dignity (and appropriate assistance to live our
lives to the fullest) because of our disabilities.  Unfortunately,
even if the world becomes 100% accepting and accomodating of us, our
CP will always prevent us from doing some things physically that we may
dearly wish to do (I would have loved to have been a dancer) and the
physical pain and fatigue associated with CP may never really go away.
So I think no matter how strong we are, most, if not all of us would
probably deep down wish and pray for a cure.

With Love
