00:25health screening but I don't know in some cases maybe. I wouldn't want to see any of my sort of
00:31family suffering. One of my analogies would be you wouldn't put your dog through it so why would
00:37you put one of your family through it? So if one of your family's in pain and they're not going to
00:46be able to recover from whatever illness that they have maybe it is better for them.
00:51You just have to think about like you know they're not being pressured by their family to
00:57to take that to take that route.
