This story is about what is doing what right thing here. Do you tell the grandmother that she has stage 4 lung cancer or do you let them continue to live a happy life and do what they want to do. I somewhat agree with the family about not making the decision to not tell her. When the mother was telling the story about the doctor mixed up the records and telling the healthy person that they going to die soon and telling the sick person that they are going to be alive and well. At first I was thinking that they must of just had the papers mixed up but after they all met together for the fake wedding so that they cal all see the grandmother before they all think she is going to pass. Then they go to the doctor for the second time and they get the same results but don't tell her again to continue what they are doing to see if this what they're doing keep going. Somehow not telling her that she is terminally ill and is soon going to be gone, works and she is alive even to this day. Now if I were to be put in this situation and my grandmother were to be sick, I would first talk to my mom and see what we should do before making this huge decision. When looking at this from afar, I don't know what would be the best thing to do here. I could help them save their life and they get the appropriate medical requirements that they need so that they can fight what they have wrong in their system. On the other hand you can not tell the person and lie to them about what the doctor says that they have and let them live the happy life that they have without knowing that they have a expiration date that is closer than expected. It might be a good idea but you really could never know what might be good for the person. She might want to know for the best but it might crush her spirit and kill her instead. Therefore I cannot really come to an answer with if I should tell them or keep this quiet.
