Profiting on a broken heart is un ethical

I agree.
I will again contrast to human medicine.
Human medicine would not tell you the cost, which would be $60k+ and that would be the only option presented unless a DNR was listed - then palliative care might be offered.
Vet's typically offer a wider spectrum of options(including euthanasia) tell you what each option costs, and what might be gained.
