My initial thought was to take your other brothers' advice. Let me put it this way, so you can think about it more broadly:

Assume happiness and healthiness are quantifiable. What path makes YOU the happiest and healthiest you could be? Please note the emotional cost of "condemning them to death" in your calculations.

Also, are THEY really happy as they are now? Even if they did die, which is unlikely, at least they would die free and not dragging down a loved one in the process. I'm sure your mother loves you dearly and wouldn't want you to sacrifice your life for hers. Your brother...I can't say. I'd need more information. Your father unfortunately sounds like a lost cause.
