This is kind of off topic, but with all the discussion of medicine and prayer, I'm itching to ask:
Am I the only one who thinks it's ridiculous to do everything medically possible to prevent death? I'm not trying to say that extreme measures should never be taken, but subjecting young cancer victims to really invasive, debilitating procedures seems cruel to me. Everyone dies, we should accept it. Perhaps, it is better to simply enjoy the time one has left rather than undergoing treatments that turn one's remaining time into a living hell.
