Something like the scenario you mention would fall under, "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin"?

Who's to say? it is an individual choice for everyone to make. some people would want to die rather than be in pain, and some people would hold onto any hope, that a cure might happen, in the time span they have left.

It's not an issue with money, because when you are dead, money doesn't matter to the deceased.

One has to make that decision for themselves, unless they are incapacitated, and need a health rider policy, so a love one can fulfill their wishes.

It is always the best option to have a will stating your wishes, a health medical rider and a power of attorney drawn up before something drastic happens.

A person that I worked with said he didn't need a will as he was going to leave everything to his wife and then she would give it to their only son.
I replied, "did you ever consider that you and your wife could get into a car accident and die at the same time'?

He said, the thought never occurred to him, and he did need a will. DOH!!!!

He need to get his affairs in order, before the mess would occur, and everyone would not know what his/her wishes would be.
