Not I. Again, this gets into the fact that not everything should be "magic and butterflies and rainbows, where none of our favorite characters ever die". BioWare built a phenomenal character, Thane, around a central premise: He's dying. It's an integral part of the character in ME2. It's an integral part of a romance with Thane in ME2. They practically shouted from the rooftops that Thane was dying of an incurable disease. To magically cure him now would be a total cop-out on BioWare's part, to say nothing of the disappointing deus ex machina aspect of it. BioWare said he was dying, so for story purposes, I sure hope he dies. It would make the story so much better if there were some bittersweet moments, such as Thane dying, as opposed to having it be all artificial and saccharine and nonsensical.
