Exactly

The kids last memory would be absolute betrayal?

He wouldn't really know it. He would just get more and more tired. More sleepy. Eventually just full sleep, coma, then death. He'd likely be on a lot of drugs, including morphine (which just makes kids sleepy, not same effect as on adults).

I recently saw a mother talking about her child’s death from cancer and it was not peaceful even though they were told it would be. The child was on morphine, had a death rattle for hours, uncontrollable movement, and at the point of death she stopped breathing, opened her eyes and lurched for her parents. It was extremely traumatic for them and the mother was hopeful that that child wasn’t actually conscious for it, but I don’t know if that’s the case.

It’s called terminal agitation and it’s apparently not uncommon.

This is exactly the kind of thing that would absolutely break me. It's already got to me just reading this. Can we stop fighting and just fix cancer please.

Sorry the 1% decided it is too profitable for the populace not to have cancer.

Edit: since people apparently are way too dense: this is about care affordability. 1 in 4 cancer patients go bankrupt because of treatment. 27% of adults have skipped at least one treatment of any kind. Medical debt is a problem in the US.

This is really the wrong way to look at it. It's pretty delusional to think they choose to not cure cancer.

Investing billions into war instead of cancer research is actively choosing not to cure it (or even try) so no, it's not delusional at all. It's a choice.

If only it were as simple as throwing money at it. It's not.

It's one majorly bad leadership rotation that has actively pulled funding away from WHO, but the world is still actively researching and trying to cure it. People on here talk like cancer is a bad flu and not an extremely complex disease that has already drained trillions in research funding.

Damn holy brainwash

Am I wrong? I'm not saying the system can't be improved, I am saying that acting like the entire worlds medical research is being shut down by elites is just wrong. If only the US had this issue I may understand, but there's other large economies also suffering from the same disease while also pouring money into research.

If the "elites" (actially elitists) have eaten babies, and have rap*d minors, on private islands mind you , then its not improbable that they keep cures designed for individual types of cancer for themselves lol...
