A Protocol for Dying
As an Eastern Orthodox Christian, euthanasia would not be an option to me, but I really hope I&#x27;d never have to think about it as a choice. I had an early stage melanoma in 2004 and I know I &quot;beat it&quot;, but I also know it&#x27;s all a matter of time and I made some important lifestyle changes and most importantly - switching to a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. (Well, also as an Eastern Orthodox Christian, I&#x27;m currently undergoing Great Lent, and I know for a fact that carbs are terrible in the long run.)<p>It&#x27;s so pathetic that we as a society waste so much time and energy on non-essential stuff instead of curing major killers. Yes, cancer is a hard one to beat (each cancer being different, too), but we&#x27;ve done even more complex things as humanity. I really don&#x27;t think curing major diseases has ever been a top priority of our society! I hope one day soon people finally realize that diseases are not what other people get (the arrogance of the healthy), but what we all will eventually!
