Well if I was one of his parents, I would definitely don't care about what his decision - I wouldn't want to see my child die...

He suffers from a congenital heart defect and pulmonary hypertension – and now doctors say he has only months, if not days, to live
Every morning Sharon and Neil Gawthorpe creep silently into their son’s bedroom. What they do next, no parent should have to endure.
But every day they stand in the 18-year-old’s room and listen for a sign he is still alive.
A sign – sighing or snoring – that their beloved son Liam is breathing.
It might seem an odd thing to do but the couple from Liversedge, West Yorkshire, have every reason to be so worried.
Liam, who suffers from a congenital heart defect and pulmonary hypertension, has twice turned down a heart and double lung transplant – and now doctors say he has only months, if not days, to live.
“We wake up every day and one of us has to go into his bedroom and check if he’s still alive,” says dad Neil.
What part of what he is doing is courageous or to be lauded? Sure, someone else is going to get the heart but I would feel awfully shitty about myself if I was in his family.
"Hey, you guys are great and all but I'd rather just die than save myself. Take it easy!"
What a hero.
Yeah retard level: YOLO.
Kid may be depressed. In a way it is suicide.
His motives seem very vague, I am not sure I quite understand his reasoning.
Don't get this at ALL
I don't agree with his decision, but why is this news, why is it posted here, and why is it something people have to give their opinions on? The guy is making his own decisions. So be it.
