You don't have to like Jobs, I never did when he was alive, but shitting on him (as is now a cliche) for his choices of treatment is an awful reason.

The peanut gallery is not to be trusted on how curable his cancer was, and this article says nothing firm about anything.

If someone chooses not to be tortured for their last weeks of life, in order to have those weeks, that doesn't make them unscientific or suicidal.

Yes, if that's the motivation.

But if the reasoning is "I have a better treatment, [insert nonsense here]", it does.
