One “seemingly unimportant” day, when father Ethan and son Harry (not their real names) were out surfing, Harry made a request his dad thought nothing of at the time.
“If anything happens to me while I’m out surfing, or any other time, and if I get damaged beyond repair, promise me that you won’t try and bring me back,” Ethan recalled his son as saying.
Ethan told him he understood.

“I promised that I would let him die if it meant he wasn’t able to lead a life on his own terms,” he said.
“Looking back … that moment was the beginning of this story, and it was at that point that destiny kicked in.”
