What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Vayimaen’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] Much has been said about valuing who we really are and the value of life. The value of even one moment of living as a yid was portrayed by he said over a story. There was a ber an 18-year-old from England who was diagnosed and the doctors told the parents just let him relax. Just let him enjoy the last few weeks of his life. Chemotherapy is not going to work. there's nothing to do. They didn't give there's nothing to do. They didn't give up. They brought him to America. In America, the doctors said that there's a possible experimental drug that could perhaps extend his life by a few months if he's willing to take it. It's a painful procedure, but uh we need the consent of the patient. He has to sign. Now, the boy seemingly had a doubt if he should go through it. And the father asked, "Please speak to him." The boy says, "I don't understand. Why should I do this? I could hardly do mitzvah. I can hardly do anything. I'm so weak. I'm going to die. I could accept the mishbat of Hashem. I have no cautious undert.
