One in four people dies of cancer[^1]. Those are terrible odds as they are, but it gets worse because most people will go through their lives terrified of when it will be their time to enter that Russian roulette of agony, and because everybody will have to see or care for a friend or relative dying that way.
Our therapies and treatments are so pitifully inadequate and yet so damn trying and expensive... We need a true revolution there, a qualitative jump of the kind between calling linear correlation a form of "AI" and calling an LLM a form of "AI".

Or a legal reform to die with dignity, in our own terms, and not be forced to endure a terminal illness until organ failure.
