But most of the time that is not the case. Instead most of them will die a slow death with cancer, or embolism. I actually know a person, in his middle age, who is still alive two years after being given a death sentence. He needs to be connected to a O2 tank 24 / 7. Every place he goes he needs to take a tank with him. Very sad indeed. But that is not all: Consider all the productivity loss of people dying in their prime years, the taxes loss for the government. The wife of this aquaintace actually needed to declare bankruptcy because of the loss of income and they are now getting help from the government. I think that only the pharmaceutical and funeral homes are the real profiteers in this case. Except for the tobacco industry off course.
