I drove to work today for a few hundred quid and had a fair chance of dying on the way there or back. FML
If you had £10m in the bank and were told you had a week to live due to illness how much of it would you give up for a cure?

Even when my life is shit, it's too incredible to take on a guaranteed shot at death
Wouldn't do it
Presumably you have travelled by plane thus risking death? So we have established what you are and are just negotiating the price. Yes but this guarantees you a shot at death!

What? All of it plus all of my own cash. Not a difficult choice.

I wonder at what point the police would get interested in all this with a potential suicide/murder on the cards
