I would take on the loans. Aside from what everyone else has said, I don’t think this is a wise financial decision from your parents’ perspective.
It sounds like your parents are going to cash out some retirement savings or take money out of income-generating assets with the intention that you’ll be their retirement plan. But what would happen if your parents spend all this money on your education and then you get a chronic illness and can’t work. Or perhaps you’ll be unlikely and get a terminal disease at a young age. I had a mentor in residency who was an ICU physician and died of colon cancer at the age of 47. Nothing in life is guaranteed.
Your parents shouldn’t risk their own retirement on your good health. I would frame it this way if you’re worried about offending your parents. Your medical school loans can always be discharged if you die or become disabled. Your parents can’t get a refund on their retirement if they pay for your school and you’re unable to pay them back.

Have you ever spent time in an operating room or an ICU?

Vitalik is the GOAT. Dude said fuck billionaire
status, and donated 1.2B to India’s Covid relief:
Medical Equipment & Oxygen: The fund supported the 10-BED ICU initiative to provide medical assistance in rural India and funded oxygen generation and other medical equipment.
Vaccines & Kits: The fund supported UNICEF India in procuring over 160 million syringes for vaccinations.
Food and Supplies: Over 444,000 meals were provided to frontline workers and over 100,000 immunity booster kits were distributed.
He’s only worth 700M today, proving the point that there is no such thing as a virtuous billionaire.
