This week’s blog is based on a podcast called What You Don't Know (Lulu Wang). It’s about a young lady whose family persuaded her to lie to her grandmother about a terminal illness. They thought by not telling her it could possible lengthen her life span.
Did you agree with the family's choice to deceive Wang's grandmother? I do not agree with the family’s choice to deceive Wang’s grandmother. I believe a person should be given a choice to receive treatment or not. True, it is up to that person if they will take the news and just give up on life or keep positive about it and it is the family’s duty to uplift that person whenever needed. However, culture also comes into play, and some beliefs around the world are far different. And then that lie just led to another lie that many uncomfortable about the whole things but it did give everyone to see her if it was going to be the last time. When have you made an important choice to tell someone a difficult truth or you made an important choice to tell a lie that had a major impact on you and/or someone else?
