But it’s THEIR decision, not the decision of someone behind a desk somewhere.

That sort of decision shouldn’t be made solely on the basis of age. I’ve met people over 90 who have very full and active lives and some who even still work. OTOH I’ve met people in their 60’s who are just plain OLD.

Age should only be one factor in making decisions, not the deciding factor

Not if they are paying with other people's money.

If you want something you can't pay for and you want other people's money for it, it becomes, inevitably, a political decision, not a personal one.
