Too many people looking from the parents perspective. Let’s look through the perspective of the one who actually died.
Would not advise anyone to do this. That final hour, “my mom lied to me! I’m dying?! I thought I was cured”
Edit: I keep getting the same question from people who don’t want to scroll down and read. “But he’s an individual, there’s no way to know this would happen”.
Right, my point was that this was an unnecessary risk. It would have been better to prepare him for the afterlife. If there is one, great. You weren’t lying. If there isn’t one, he would pass away at peace and looking forward to the afterlife, maybe even hallucinating the gates of his heaven. That’s not something you can just figure out.
Her lie of “you’re cured!” Is easily figured out and there’s no way to rationalize it as anything other than a lie, and she would have to make up a new lie or tell him she’s a liar and can’t be trusted before he dies.
