Get another doctorAnd if you screw up?Define āmedical concurrenceā and explain why itās needed.I support it as long as the decision meets legal requirements and has medical concurrence
Please and thank you.
Medical concurrence on the prospects of recovery, extent of the disease, quality of life
And the āpro lifeā doctors?
I may be willing to go through the motions, but if the doctor says no, that just means I wouldnāt be using the machine.

You die in agony or survive and make things worse
I am not comfortable with it being a patients decision
A patient can be depressed, have low pain tolerance, be unwilling to go through a short period of discomfort

My mother was bloody brilliant. Watching those lights go out over five years ...followed by two where there were no lights, before she finally passed away, was excruciating.
I can just hear some doctor chirping about how a cure may be right around the corner, and I should make the best of the time I have left.
