[quote=Anonymous]I don’t find this odd. My mom recently died after a year-long and entirely unsuccessful battle with cancer. Her quality of life after chemo and radiation was greatly diminished, and I would have supported any decision she made to stop treatment and allow the disease to take its course. Not taking meds is his decision, and he has a right to make it. His doctors and caregivers cannot force him to undergo treatment or medical interventions against his will. No one in the scenario you describe is assisting suicide. I understand that this person is testing your patience right now, but you might want to muster up some empathy for him. One day you might better understand what he’s going through, and you will have to face any unkind and judgmental reaction that you make to his decision. Change your attitude while he’s still alive and make peace with him. [/quote]
