What exactly is your point here? I didn't say "you're 92, time to lay down in bed to die." Kissinger and Carter probably have done some end of life planning, especially Carter who had brain cancer a couple years ago.

  The average American male dies at 76. You should probably have done your end of life planning several decades before your 90’s. http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/12/08/504667607/life-expectancy-in-u-s-drops-for-first-time-in-decades-report-finds http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/12/08/50466760... Of course average means a fair number will die before 76. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/03/former-intel-ceo-paul-otellini-dies-age-66.html https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/03/former-intel-ceo-paul-otelli... http://deadline.com/2017/03/bill-paxton-dies-obituary-twister-big-love-1201999634/ http://deadline.com/2017/03/bill-paxton-dies-obituary-twiste...

    What point exactly are you trying to make and how does it have anything to do with my comment above and what does Kissinger and Carter have anything to do with it? If you look through my comment history you'll see I'm a huge proponent of end of life planning for adults at every age and I've indicated so here on HN. There's a lot of people, even ones who have significant assets, who don't do any end of life planning. Price, for example. That's one reason the NY Times wouldn't call up a 60 year old for comments on their obituary. However, when you reach 90 you know that your death is imminent. At that age if you haven't done any end of life planning your friends and family will start asking you about your wishes, such as cremation or burial. In other words, even if you have ignored your mortality until then, people are going to start bringing it up, that's were it becomes socially acceptable to get comments for your obit.
