call me fucked up but i'm one of those people who would rather the option wasn't on the table if i got that ill
perhaps the death can be prolonged with a few months, and a breakthrough or new treatment option be made available in that time, if so only to further prolong the lifespan and increase the chances of a bigger breakthrough to happen
i dont put much value in a dignified death, or "he's in a better place now" ways of thinking

there might be an issue here with families not being able to afford 4 months of dying in a hospital though, in which case i'd perhaps concede the responsible thing of an ill father to do would be accept his death and rescue his family from horrendous debt by cutting his hospital stay short.

not a workplace id like to be anywhere near, that's for sure

i guess my big thing is i'd want the patients to have to be terminally ill by tomorrows standards, not just todays
