SF 68:Last Rites (Adapted from a story by Charles Beaumont)
Last Rites
A minister is called to administer Last Rites to an old friend who he has not seen in years. The minister is convinced if only he could convince his friend to accept medical treatment the fellow could be saved; the dying friend is determined not to allow this for reasons that relate to a fantastic hypothetical he wants the minister's opinion on, a hypothetical that is not hypothetical at all.

And that's it for SF 68. A bit archaic but not without its points of interest.
