He's intentionally refusing care and just living his life. I don't agree with that, but I do understand it.
We all shuffle off someday. What's the worst that can happen? He dies?

- lazide 2y agoIf it wasn’t actually bothering him, I doubt he would be spending so much time and effort dodging it. Either ignore it (actually), or just do it, eh? Instead he seems to be intentionally playing a high stakes game of chicken. Weird.
- consteval 2y agoNo, his quality of life and mental state is severely impacted for years if not decades at a time and he slowly, and very painfully, dies. My father said the exact same thing about smoking. What's the worst that can happen, I die? Oh no - the worst that can happen is you living far too long.
