Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?

[Thumpalumpacus]

You witnessed something, but you did not and cannot witness the only relevant metric in the situation you described.

I witnessed the regnant metric in this case: inability.

You say he wanted to die and yet did not.  Obviously, you're missing something, or some part of the s[t]ory was never related to you.  

Oh, he did die. A miserable, drawn-out death over an untreatable condition, after a week of entirely pointless suffering. It's not me who's missing part of the story, it's you -- but you have a narrative to uphold and clearly aren't interested in taking aboard views which don't comport with your own, which is leading you to deny what we all may read about and occasionally experience.
