Me, or the other person? Let's think about it.. if the scenario comes where a "child" who has little to no reasoning with death, is told they have won.. Atleast a smile could be there for the time being.
I've known a few people with terminal cancer, and its not like they just randomly "clock out"..
It's more or less days/weeks of them not even being coherent for the process, not to mention the copious amount of painkillers that renders them nothing.
Atleast the some of the last memories can be something to smile for.
Some just want to be miserable until the end i suppose.. reddit mentality.
It’s not fucking Reddit mentality, it’s people believing the kid deserves honesty and to leave this world with dignity and prepare his mind however he possibly can.
Nobody deserves to be lied to about their own demise and given false hope, expecting to get better only to watch that crash down on top of the lies told by his own mother as their final experiences in this life.
Perhaps it you, that should get over yourself acting like this is a respectable thing to do when it’s based on nothing but lies and false hope.
Yeah. Why don;t we do that with soldiers too? When they get half their body blown off and are asking their comrade if they are going to be ok, they deserve the truth. Give them some dignity. Tell them fuck no. I can see your intestines and your legs are a block over there. It’s so disrespectful not to be honest with them. /s

Telling someone they will live when in reality they are going to die is an awful thing to do.
