If you had only a few months left to live, would you tell your loved ones? Vice versa, if someone you loved had only a short time left, would you want to know?
Is it ethical to tell the truth when it may cause more pain and suffering than if the truth were withheld?
In this case, isn't it better to spare your loved ones the agony of expecting your death and suffering premature loss by withholding the truth and let them get through the shock, anger, and grief all at once when you die?
