Yup, and maybe this'll be a help to some. My comment is not pushing back against medical technology, it's pushing back against the idea that human existence is somehow damned to be bleak until some fantastical medical utopia arrives and delivers immortality. You can both enjoy life-extending technology and acknowledge the inevitability of death without all that fretting and drama; many do.
My point is that many people undergoing cancer treatments are trying to avoid having their lives cut short rather than extend them unnaturally. Children with cancer is an example of this, but it applies to adults as well. Dying of cancer before you get to enjoy a full lifespan IS bleak. And not just for the afflicted person, but also for their friends and family.
