You’re misunderstanding my point. He has chronic back pain and additional related symptoms. His pain will likely worsen with the poor care in prison versus the care he ensure he gets at home. He has limitless resources to continue pursuing new treatments for his condition. He’ll suffer plenty in prison.

He had a lot on the line, and I believe his choice indicates his desire to impact the system for everyone’s benefit regardless of his personal repercussions. Someone in a more desperate state could fall into the, “well, what do I have to lose?” mindset.
