After seeing someone suffer with Cancer until the very end, I personally feel that it isn't worth the suffering that the final days provide. I think once you reach that point of no return there should be an option that allows for you to go peacefully without having your organs shut down one at a time. This is much harder on the family and it is much harder on the person with cancer. How do you guys feel? Should there be an option for the family and the cancer patient to end it all at a specified point in time if there are no longer any options beyond death anyway?
Yes, I agree with you. I wouldn't like to see the persons I love suffering and being killed from second to second.
That's terrible, but this is reality on the world
No its not.. It is also just a disease and we should fight till the end I remember my dad told me a story about what a doctor does and he told "a doctor always fight for what is meant to be"..
Meaning he always tries to save someones life but it is a fact that we all will die one day. Does that ever mean that as we are someday gonna die so lets kill ourselves today only. Think of the person who suffers from it. It is always the most difficult for him..

So never give up hope we will find the way!!!
I remember being mith my Auntie every day for a whole month until she died. I was only thirteen years of age and it has never left me. She looked so frail and so small before she died. It still tugs at my heart the helplessness I felt.
oh, thats sad, but death will never stopped by anyone...
The idea that we should "fight to the death" is so stupid and thoughtless that I won't even bother responding to it.

When you're at the point where it's a pain just to get up in the morning to eat, to breathe, to live, and you're going to die soon anyways, wouldn't you rather just end it early too?
Of course, if you really love the person death is not an option. You will keep on fighting and wait for a miracle.
It's euthanasia or mercy-killing. It's really a hard decision but this would at least ease the pain of the patient.
I think if the cancer is terminal and you know for a fact that there is no possible way you will be cured then you should have the right to die with dignity. To me it just seems inhumane to make people have to suffer when animals can be put down when in the same situation.
