1. How much does it cost? Would those extra years make up for it? 2. How well would you live in those years? I think this is a huge one - many of these procedures basically end up with the patient being half dead for most of their life, but at least family members can enjoy their company and becoming caretakers for the next 5 years. There are fates worse than death, and this is one of them. If it's 25% for little cost except pain, then sure, go for it.
