As I see it, it is not a one direction transaction. Your dog give your their part, you did same. Would you get your beloved dog more health if you could? (I get it that not everyone can do it. But if that would not be an issue?)
But, ultimately, it is your decision.
Can you elaborate a bit, please?
Well, first of all I see you love your dog and deeply care about 🤗 This is a kind of decision that no one should be forced to face. But nature forces us so…
When it comes to end of life decision, it is possible to cryopreserve your dog, so in the future, when veterinary medicine advances a lot, they could reanimate your dog and provide many, many more years of healthy life. All the thing about reanimation is still speculative currently (unless your pet is a small worm C. Elegans…). If you are interested, you may search CryoPets and Tomorrow Biostasis. Best luck 🤗
Cool. Make sense. Sounds like a principle similar to !EffectiveAltruism@chirp.social.
Btw, current cryopreservation organizations (preferably nonprofit foundations rather then companies) have learnt from past mistakes. Eg Tomorrow Biostasis requires quite a big payment upfront that is invested in low risk way that is expected to provide profit at least 1% above inflation, and the profit is used to pay for maintaining the preservation and later for revival and reintegration into society. It is designed to be long term sustainable to prevent disposals.
