Old people with 5 different types of cancer? I don't think I'd call that early!!!!
I think that if I had 5 different types of cancer and was in the last stages of life, I would prefer to be in hospice care being be made as comfortable as possible. I also would like to have those special to me to come say their last goodbyes. I really don't think I want my inevitable death expedited by a virus that basically makes me drown in my own fluids and denied any opportunity to say my last goodbyes.
