I wish this man well. My own father chose death. I was by his side and fed him his last meal - much of which went into his lungs. The thing that died was not really my father, who had gone some months earlier. I am sure people will have good reason to call a future intelligent robot by any name other than human. A robot is not human, no matter how much intelligence and sensitivity is stored up inside. A person with AML unfotunately loses all the nice things that make him human and make life livable. Sadly one cannot "choose life" and "choose death". It's not a choice. shiv
