I asked because I was curious: "I've told mine they can try whatever experimental chemotherapy they wish to." from his post.

  Interesting, because he also said this about conversations people have with dying people... ""There's this alternative cure people are talking about," Which gets the ban hammer from me, and happily I only got a few of those. Even if there was a miracle cure, the cost and stress (to others) of seeking it is such a selfish and disproportionate act. With, as we know, lottery-style chances of success. We live, we die." Perhaps this reaction is somewhat dependant on the circumstances surrounding it (general mood, how it's suggested, etc...).

    I think he means "alternative" in the sense of "healing crystals doused in snake oil" and not "experimental chemotherapy"

      Yes, and I think his motivation for enduring the experimental chemo is to produce data for science, rather than any hope of personal benefit. Enlightened dude, staring right back into the eye of death without seeming to flinch.
