* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
** Viciously subverted in the episode "[[Recap/BabylonFiveS01E10Believers Believers]]" as part of Creator/JMichaelStraczynski's personal war on (former trope) "Cute Kids And Robots": when an alien family's religious beliefs forbid surgery on their critically ill son, Dr. Franklin goes ahead and performs it anyway -- only to have the family [[BlueAndOrangeMorality calmly and ritually kill the boy]] afterward because according to their beliefs opening his body up allowed his spirit to leave it.
** And in the second season episode "[[Recap/BabylonFiveS02E18ConfessionsAndLamentations Confessions and Lamentations]]", where a whole race has a terminal disease and Delenn encourages a small child to believe everything will be all right. Dr. Franklin [[HopeSpot finds the cure]] and dramatically bursts in on the quarantine zone... to find it full of cute little corpses. The epilogue includes a newscast mentioning that the plague wiped out ''the entire race'', and, indeed, that type of alien is [[ContinuityNod never seen again in the series]]. There were [[http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/countries/us/guide/040.html comments on set]] about holding a mass burial for the race's prosthetics. They even later blow up the Jump Gate to that race's star system, since nobody (except pirates and raiders [[PlanetLooters coming to loot]] the [[GhostPlanet now uninhabited world]]) is using it anyway...

* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
** Viciously subverted in
''Series/BabylonFive'': Series creator Creator/JMichaelStraczynski absolutely ''despises'' the episode (former trope) "Cute Kids And Robots", and demonstrated it by subverting this trope in two of the series' most memorable episodes:

* ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork 3'' had Mamoru, the Littlest Heart Disease Patient as part of an arc. In a bit of a subversion, [[spoiler:it's implied that he is actually in control of the {{superboss}}, Serenade.EXE - the only other character that can match [[PsychoForHire Bass.EXE]], [[TheRival Protoman.EXE]], and [[TheHero MegaMan.exe]].]]
* Polka in ''VideoGame/EternalSonata''. She's a fourteen-year-old girl dying of [[SoapOperaDisease a terminal illness.]] [[spoiler:Only she's not. She's actually fated to sacrifice herself to save the world.]] Though the game is never entirely clear on this. It seems to suggest that she actually does exhibit signs of illness at times, and in the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 UpdatedRerelease, she collapses at one point and has to be brought back from a coma by having the Agogo Queen Mother absorb some of her astra, which glows more brightly than anyone else's in the world.
