Dying to be told?

Dying to be told?

Twelve year Adam Lewis was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour.
Against the odds he lived for 12 months after this diagnosis.

What makes this case slightly different was that his parents never told him his diagnosis was terminal. They wanted him to live a happy, normal life.

Did they do the right thing?

It is proposed that Adam's parents did the right thing by NOT telling him that his illness was terminal.
