I am committed to the idea of fighting until the last breath. And that doesn’t mean one can’t have meds to make the pain bearable. There is, though, a distinct difference between actively taking life and actively attempting to preserve life with the means that one has available. You don’t quit. You never give up. And if it gets to the point that your only weapons left are prayer and painkillers, then you use those.

We never let anyone forget how precious life is.

Yes, but you didn't answer my question over what happens went you can't pay for your life anymore because the cost of your treatment is hopelessly beyond your means to pay it? Who should be forced to pay for it then?

“I am committed to the idea of fighting until the last breath.”

One of these days you’ll have an experience that allows you to overcome those childish altruistic beliefs. You’ve never seen a dying cancer patient in agony much less yourself in that situation.
