The question of death is indeed a significant theme. There are several reasons why death from cancer is considered relatively ‘better’ among medical professionals. First, with cancer, it is often possible to predict an approximate life expectancy, which can provide opportunities for end-of-life planning and spending time with loved ones. Additionally, advancements in medicine have led to the development of palliative care, which allows for a peaceful end of life with reduced pain and suffering.
In particular, some types of cancer, like liver cancer, may cause less pain, and patients often pass away without much suffering due to a clouded consciousness. Moreover, with cancer, specialized palliative care teams can provide individualized support to control pain and help patients and their families spend peaceful moments together.
These reasons contribute to why many medical professionals view death from cancer as ‘ideal.’ However, this is a general perspective, and it’s important to understand that individual situations and values may differ. The nature of one’s death greatly depends on personal choices and circumstances. It’s also essential to keep in mind that death from cancer is not necessarily the best for everyone.
