You sound like a good Friend.
My Best Friend recently passed away.
He was a Viet Nam Vet and his cancer was Service related.
His Doctor managed to keep him alive for Fifteen years after Diagnosis.
Five different types of treatment were use over the years.
We had lots of good times, even the last few years.
Stevie was Very Competitive and felt he had beaten the odds and outlasted his original prognosis by years.
My own Dad was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disease in 1977 and lived a very productive life until just about two months before he died in 2002.
He probably picked up the disease due to repeated exposure from the Atomic testing which went on in the late 1950's and early 1960's in the area where he worked. But a whole lot happened like family weddings, grandchildren and even another nine years of working and paying taxes after he was diagnosed with the disease.
We don't need little Eichmanns like Reich deciding what Stevie's, my father's or anybody else's lives are worth.
Of course, these same libtards want to keep convicted murderers on death row forever on the taxpayer's dime even if we could guarantee a 100% pain free execution. For some strange reason that cost never figures into their equation.
