It would be too emotional for me. I have watched two people I love die of cancer, my uncle and my 18 year old brother in law. It's not a fun thing to watch. You bond and connect with people in so many ways, and you have to be prepared to watch these people die, even if you're just driving them from one place to another. Survival rate of cancer is bad, and I am currently watching a friends son (who's 8 or so) go through rigorous treatments and tests and of course we hope for the best, but when little kids ask their parents "am I going to die now?" it's very heartbreaking and sad and you have to be prepared for that.
I would say you would learn a lot about life and being thankful for every day and to hug your children because you never know how random something like this can come up.
It's very admirable for the people that do it, but it's even heartbreaking for the caretakers, and doctors involved. My heart is easily broken. I have a special needs child and my heart breaks for him daily and he's not expected to die anytime soon.
Watching my brother in law was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life. Gone way too soon. Good person, would have been a good man.

I personally would not. Also, in saying this, I need to point out that I have a family member who died of breast cancer. I would not because I don't like hospitals. I could probably see myself driving cancer patients to treatment or something like that though. I think that someone having that experience could learn that life is short and health is fragile and very important. I think they would also learn to value every moment in their life.
