    Nah, I’ll just do a cost-benefit analysis whether I should get treatment or just fucking die.

      At the end, when he was out of money, and going to die anyway, and about to leave his wife and six kids broke, I’ll bet he wished he had ended it earlier.

        If someone asked me “How much money would you pay to spend an extra year with your dad?” I don’t know if there’s an upper limit.

          Of course, but that’s you. HE would probably rather you remember him when he was healthier, not slowly dying ugly, and use the money to make his grandchildren’s lives better.

          Either way, you will grieve his loss, but one way leaves his offspring better off. Most Dads know which choice they’d make, even if their loving children would disagree. Good dads have to make the tough choices for their family.
