On Hanging On To Life vs. Saving Money.
When my dad died, we found that he had Leukemia. None of us knew - not even my youngest brother who visited him weekly. Knowing how thifty he is, I suspect that he might have known - formally or informally and opted to let the disease take it's toll. He might thought of sparing us the financial burden for his medical treatments. At hindsight, I was thinking that if he languished on through chemo, then it may be troublesome but it would have brought out the best from us all. I know that my other brother, the middle, loves him because he comes to join us whenever I set up a get together for my dad. But when my dad died, he got into drugs and is now a biker. So, when making end of life decisions, old people should consider that their worth goes beyond becoming a burden. That burden may actually do good.
