When dying with cancer, what is the “right” thing to do. Should you get as much care as you can to keep you alive until your body finally can not function any longer? Do you use all modern technology to keep you alive until the cancer finally wins? Who has the right to make these decisions, the cancer patient or the family? Why does the family want to make a decision that will impact the patient if the patient can make the decision themselves? The article has good points and I am sure everyone will not agree. I myself feel that the choice is up to the patient! if they have the capacity to refuse food and still drink enough to have a less painful death, good for them. They were able to make a personal decision of how they want to die. Mom, we love you and when you are ready, just let go. 😥
