There is always an option. People die of cancer choosing not to treat it every day in every part of the world.
I think opinions like yours above always stem from the naive assumption that all life is worth infinite at any point, so any obstacle to prolong it is a failure. Well, its not. Some treatments are expensive and cost is definitely something to take into account.
If you get cancer and the treatment to save you is 100 million dollars, you better have them, because other people should not pay for that lavish expenditure.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoI've never heard in a nationalized healthcare system that someones cancer treatment was too expensive, so they should just die.
- conanbatt 8y agoThe practice of medicine always had and always will have an economic component. Countries dont even match their flu-shot vaccination recommendations, let alone multi-million dollar treatments.
