Hospice/Palliative Care



I recently read that Jews (and Blacks) avoid hospice and opt for heroic
surgery or another round of painful chemo where a good outcome is only a
few months/weeks more. Others are more inclined to select hospice when
the end is near

Is this a cultural thing (hope springs eternal that Hashem will
intervene) or is it something derived from Talmud or Torah
.
