Would you accept a 10% decrease in the quality of your life in exchange for an extra year? I probably would. I probably still would if that was a 20% decrease. But I probably wouldn't go for that extra year if I had to accept a 90% decrease in the quality of my life.
The threshold is a personal decision. There are no right or wrong answers. We should even indulge someone who would accept that 90% decrease for an extra year. That should be their choice, and even if I wouldn't make it myself, that's neither here nor there.

The context is _clinical trials_, tho, so that's not generally what's on offer.
