So some one you don't even know well enough to remember his last name apparently died three weeks after surgery for a brain tumor, and you are moved to question whether he might have lived a longer and happier life without the operation. And to propose that he was somehow "talked into" having the surgery by a doctor who did not explain alternative options for treatment and was primarily motivated by how much he would be paid.
This is ridiculous. What is your source of information about this person's medical condition? What type of tumor was it? What is the usual outcome for this condition if untreated or treated with other modalities than surgery.
A person does not just walk into a neurosurgeon's office and say "I have a brain tumor, can you operate?" The were certainly other physicals involved in evaluation and diagnosis of this person's condition with plenty of discussion and explanation along the way. Don't think he was forced to consult a neurosurgeon, or that surgery was done without his informed consent.
