2) Answer the following question based off of "Oedipus Rex" by leaving a comment. You may also choose to reply to fellow classmate. The expectation is that you should write a short paragraph. Please leave your name.
If a doctor said you had terminal cancer and that you had a 95% chance of dying within a month, would you try and fight the cancer by going through treatment and a month a suffering, or would you forgo the treatment and try to live your live to the fullest for the remaining month?
If I was put into this situation, Where I had a slight chance of living my life for longer than a month due to cancer. I would choose the treatment even if Its 95%. That 5% could let me live for many many years more. If the treatment goes good I'll have a even longer lifespan. Which will result in a least bad effect on everyone around me, such as friends, partner, and family. I wouldn't want to just give up and leave my family or friends behind when that slight chance of me living could equal their happiness.

Well if I had this situation in my life. I would probably go for the treatment because of my family and loved ones because I love them. Knowing I have probably 5% chance of surviving. I would still go for treatment hoping some miracle happen. And one or the other day a person have to die. So you can't really help. But I would surely do for my family. We should be living for others rather than for our own.

If I had to face a situation like this, I would choose live the month I have left to the fullest filled with happiness and without suffering. I would use that month to fulfill my desires and spend time with my loved ones. I do not like hospitals and since there are so few chances of life, I would prefer refuse treatment. Also because I'd rather be remembered as a cheerful person who always had a smile on her face than be remembered depressed and full of suffering.

If that happened to me I would most likely decide to forgo the treatment. I wouldn't like going to the treatment all the time because that would remind me that I have cancer and will also be painful. In that month I'll go visit many places and seeing new things also enjoying with my family and friends. I wouldn't like my family to see me suffering so I'll just live my life fullest for the remaining month and die happy.

well 1 if that happened to me i would just forget about the treatment because i think people suffer a lot... i wold just live the rest of my life enjoying with my family and friends till i die because sometimes people live longer than what the doctors tell them...

If I had a 95% chance of dying in the end of the month I would try to fight it. I would fight to live because if I do then I would live much longer. I would do it for many people. For my self and for my family. I wouldn't want my parents to suffer by knowing that I will die. If I fight to live it would give them hope and hope to me too. Thats why I would choose to try to live.
ReplyDeleteI would forego the treatment. I would do this because I should have an opportunity to enjoy my life while I still can. I will also try to do the things that I missed out in life and just live life to the fullest. This is what I would do if I had a short time to live.

There are still 5% chance that i'll survive that's why i will choose to continue fighting for my disease. I wouldn't be able to enjoy my life anyway knowing that i only have one month to live. Even if the treatments will not be succesful, at least i tried everything even my last month of living.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in a situation like this, I would choose to live life to the fullest for a month. I would rather live my life to the fullest then to suffer and be in pain everyday knowing there was a 95% chance I wouldn't even last. I would want to enjoy the time I have left with family and friends and be full with happiness and joy. During this month I would use it to spend time with loved ones and visit places I always waned to visit. Why suffer a month and be remembered as depressed person when I can be remembered as a joyful happy person?

I would most definitely try and fight the cancer, and pray that I win the battle and rid myself of the cancer. Also in that month, I would try and complete the small bucket list that i would create when I first learned of my illness. Not only would I fight the cancer for myself, I would also fight it for all the people that I know love and care about me. So if the doctor told me that I had a 95% chance of death from the cancer, I would push myself the furthest i could to fight for that 5% chance at life.

if i was in that situation i would live life to the fullest. i choose this because of the 95% out of 5% of living. instead of going through pain during the treat meant i can be enjoying the last month with my family and friend. doing things i would never do like sky diving or other crazy things like that.

In a situation where I have a 95% chance of dying and a 5% chance of surviving I would make the decision of living my life to the fullest. I wouldnt want to undergo a treatment that causes me a month of suffering when the chance of surviving is very slight. I want to be able to die peacefully and happy and be remembered as the girl who accepted things as they were. I want my family to be at ease when they see that I've accepted my sickness for what it is rather than fighting something that might actually destroy me even more inside. It wouldnt be only for me it would be for my family as well; if they saw that I left this earth calm and happy I know they would be happier than seeing me go in pain and in tears.
ReplyDeleteIf I were told I had 95% chance of dying within the next month and I could either go through treatment or just live me life I would choose to live my life. It's the big tho.g to do for my family and I. I would put my family in so much debt because of all the hospital bills and on top of that they have to pay for a funeral. Another reason why I would choose to live my life is because you live your life everyday doing th same routine and being careful , you just do the things you do because you have to do that. I wouldn't have to do the same routine I would do the things I never got to do because you only have one chance at life. My family would be happy to know I died happy and accomplished the things I wanted to do

Choosing a side in this situation would be one of the toughest decisions of my life although I would choose to just live my life for the rest of my time left. The choice to skip the treatment would be difficult to make but in my opinion it is the better choice. The odds of 95% to 5% are not exactly in my favor. Bluntly, my death in a month is nearly inevitable. I'd rather spend my last month doing what I please not being terminally ill in a hospital.

Unless I was guaranteed to live after the treatment I would just enjoy the rest of my time on the earth.It is a 95% chance to die in a month, and treatment doesn't sound like it is going to help me.I would try to do anything I can do in a months time rather then being in a hospital room.
