"I just turned 65, surprised to have made it this far, concerning family genetics and my issues."
Well, I'm just 61. Both of my parents are 82, and are quite active and healthy. I plan to enjoy the next 21 years very much, and am certainly in no hurry to give those 21 years up.
It's a little odd to hear someone say that someone who is 60 has only a short time to live. I'm sorry for your ill-health.
It's better than some at this age. None of us knows the final hour for us. I could struggle along to 90. I have outlived people I would have never expected to outlive. That is not the point. At least I have lived, and if I would have to lay down my life rather than deny my faith, I would want to do that if I were given the grace to do so.
My only problem is that if I had other family members in the situation. Do I have a right to decide for minors that we are all going to die?
Just for myself, they can kill me. Fear not those who would kill the body but the soul.
It wouldn't seem these reporters were Christian anyway, most seem to have left that far behind as silly superstition, so it is different for them. If they did happen to be Christian, that is between them and God, I won't be on the judgement panel. It's going to be all men :-).
