As far as I know the UK is in Europe, and my father has recently been denied cancer treatment by multiple providers due to a low probability of success. That's by the NHS and a few private providers. The argument is that he'll have a better quality of life if he doesn't spend the rest of the time he has left going through pointless treatments that won't help anyway, an argument our family didn't initially accept but are certainly coming to terms with.
