Default What do you think?

Let's suppose you find that you're diagnosed with a heart condition that is reparable, but without surgery you've only got 6-8 months to live. Once the surgery is complete you will return to normal health, with an average life expectancy.

Do you believe that you have a moral obligation to take care of your body by having the surgery performed and extending your life, or would you see nothing wrong with riding it out and letting yourself die in a few months time?

What if you were in your late 70's when you got this news. Would it change your answer?
