Exactly right. Prolonging life for the sake of prolonging life has always seemed to me to be somewhat narcissistic. My family and friends know exactly where to find me if I become a terminal case without hope (or only the remotest imaginable hope) of getting well enough to truly live, and it won’t be in a hospital bed watching the dollars fly out the window.
What does that have to do with telling the entire population of the United States that they will all be executed on their 75th birthdays?
