as much as I loathe this entire administration, I must say that I personally would not want a pacemaker after age 100.
Who wants to prolong their days as an invalid?

This isn’t about your feelings.

It’s about government killing people by law.

Ask someone who’s about to turn 100. ;)

I have seen at least two 100 yo people. They were both active, physically and mentally, and if they needed a pace maker should have been supplied with one if they could have paid for it.

I am guessing if it was your turn you would say,"No thanks, I think I will just die!". Right? Is that what you would say? People should have the choice to either take the surgery or not, the government should not be the final arbiter!

I realize you would rather the government make up your mind but I choose to guide my own fate thank you just the same.

My 96 year old grandma was just out in my garden with a hoe, working harder than you know what work is. If she needed a pacemaker, I would pay for it out of my pocket simply because she DESERVES the respect.

Even if she died for other reasons 3 weeks later, I would consider it money well spent.

Would YOU?

Or do you think along the same lines as 0bama (ptui) and recommend she just be quiet, enjoy her memories, and take the painkillers?

May your choices weigh as they should upon your conscience.
