Assume you're life-lusted and are willing to abandon every moral you have just to live. Paying for cancer treatment is also worth prison time to you.

Also assume you've exhausted all ethical fundraising options, i.e. GoFundMe, loans, etc. and that insurance won't cover treatment for whatever reason.

I've had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I'd rather go out on my own terms.

Plus, any kind of money making scheme I'd think of is likely going to end up like the "aim for the bushes" scene in The Other Guys.
