A fighting attitude is harmful if it leads you to prioritize prolonging life at any cost.
- gfs78 8y agoSome people prefer to contemplate and accept. Some people prefer to fight hard until the end. Who are we to decide how people are supposed to live, or die?
- jmromer 8y agoIndeed—it's a personal decision that every patient and family have to make based on their individual situation. (Just as mine had to.) That's why a categorical claim that there's no harm to having fighting attitude is patently wrong...not to mention harmful because it contributes to the stigmatization of accepting and preparing for impending death.
