I guess my subjective perspective is at play here. Neither of my grandparents had good quality of life much after 75, so I guess for me I always viewed anything after 80 as a total loss but then again my great grandpa lived pretty decently till he was 90 so I guess everyone is different
For sure, and that's a calculation you can make with your doctor if you're in that situation. I'm in favor of allowing humane assisted suicide if qol is gonna be shit due to pain, dementia, or whatever else. But every cancer is different with different treatment side effects, etc.
