Maybe there's nothing worse than suffering, but suffering is better than nothing. I would rather suffer an extra week than die.

- avgDev 7y agoHave you ever suffered enough to make that comment though? It is hard to understand how an individual feels when they are on their last days fighting with cancer. I would like to be able to go, when I no longer want to suffer. Keeping people alive seems kind of sadistic to me. I highly recommend anyone watch documentary about Masahiro Tanaka. He was a palliative care doctor who treated dying patients, and was diagnosed with a cancer himself. He asked his wife who is also physician to ease his suffering and help him pass. The film crew wanted to film the ideal way to pass. What they witnessed was much more interesting. His wife kept him alive against his wishes, just to prolong his existence. It was quite sad.
- mst 7y agoThe day before he died my father told a visitor "I just want to go". I've no idea whether I'd feel like that or not, but consider that your guess as to how you'd feel is quite possibly only a guess.
