So statistically speaking, you
may not benefit from another course of chemo, etc., so the care is cut off for you. Probably doesn't matter about your particular circumstances, the death panel has spoken. Nothing to be learned by giving the care with perhaps a small modification - perhaps it might not do you any good but may advance the body of knowledge, etc. No wonder why Congress suddenly stopped worrying about the survivability of Social Security - they found their Final Solution to the problem.
That said, may the "finger test" be on the list of tests to be done away with!
