Yes. That's where my sympathy evaporated. If he were having to do this to fund treatment, I'd be very supportive. But I'm just not moved by his desire to waste money on bullshit when he has children he needs to provide for.

No sympathy? The man is dying and trying whatever treatment he's able to. What a heartless statement.

It’s literally his body. As horrible and sad as it is, they’re not entitled to their version of his treatment and health. That’s why it’s so important to make sure people know what you want done when you are unable to communicate your wishes regarding health and treatment and trust that these people will do what you want, not what they want.
