As someone who nearly died a little over two years ago from cancer... It's irresponsible.

Point to the experts, but don't cause further pain through at best, false hope, and at worst, a murderous experience for your last few days.

Lots of people want to help. That leads to questions like this. You're desperate to help someone who is suffering. But you will absolutely make that suffering worse if you act through ignorance.
