Well, are you aware of how death by rabies happens? Way better for you and your family if you die in a coma, then to have to watch you going through it consciously. If I had rabies in a stage where death is certain, the options I would be looking at would be either the Milwaukee protocol or euthanasia. The other option (doing nothing) doesn't just means death, it means painfully, awful death.

If people want to take that option, then I'd be fine with that. But it's not for anyone to decide on behalf of others. If MP has no effect - and it's very possible it's effectiveness is actually zero, as we don't know if it was what saved Giese, - then it is wildly unethical to give unjustified hope to people, especially when this will prevent doctors from trying to find other options that might at least give them a chance.
