Your case is why I hate the law today. I don't wasn't a DNR as I'm a tough SOB and fully intend to recover from anything. But I'm a rational man and know there are things I might not recover from. I want to take the best shot and if it fails be able to bow out after trying.
I don't want to concede the game before it really even starts.
