To: do the dhue

I can understand this young man's situation - G-d knows I was a young man once, too - but I can't help thinking about people like Warren Zevon and Stephen Hawking* who, knowing they were soon to leave the world, put their remaining time and energy into doing great things.

[*When Hawking was diagnosed, he was given 2-3 years to live. Incidentally, he married after he was diagnosed, and fathered four children.]

That is another way of saying he may now have a greater incentive to live.
