We all will be old one day, if lucky. My comment was not about you because you happen to be old right now. But are you unfamiliar with typical end of life care in the US? Where the last few years is a constant stream of hospitalizations, rehabilitation, etc with no quality of life and no tangible benefit but a very substantial cost? I find that concept… interesting… as in, I don’t like paying the cost and I don’t intend on participating in it when my time comes. I think this feeling is growing with younger generations because we’ve witnessed what older generations are subjecting themselves and their families to.
- tomcam 4y agoI’m familiar with all those issues and have been for years. Have taken both parents through agonizing deaths. Doesn’t make comments like yours less unsettling.
- conductr 4y agoProbably no productive discourse to be had. We fundamentally have different views and I respect that.
- tomcam 4y agoI didn't express any views, only emotions. What disturbs me is that our views appear to be very similar. It's just at my age it is not exactly comforting.
- conductr 4y agoSorry I must have assumed you were dissenting with my stated views. But I now see you're actually not saying much at all so I'm having difficulty understanding what views are behind the statements regarding the feelings you've expressed.
