John McCain (R-Ariz.), whose 82nd birthday is this week, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer last year. "In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment," McCain's family said in a statement.
