Fine for him if that's what he wants. But in typical liberal fashion he wants to impose it on others.

[ConservativeMind]

Heh, I would encourage him and his ilk to aim quite a bit lower.

[Zhang Fei]

I don’t think he should wait until 75. There’s no time like now.

[ZULU]

I suggest he not wait that long. The world would be better off without him now.

[cloudmountain]

I don't believe that he means it.
He was just writing about it because he had nothing to write about and this might be one of his many "back-up" themes.

Hah, if anyone is around for his 75th birthday and reminds him of this article he WILL say: "Hey, it was just a story to turn in to the boss."

[Feckless]

Why wait? Oh, and take your scumbag brother with you.

[ZULU]

Check out where this nut job works.

[Vermont Lt]

Wow. If I am going die when I am infantile, I should have died years ago.

This is typical Fascist tripe.
They want to eliminate the cost of Social Security & Medicare payments.
They want to STEAL the estates.
They want to eliminate the older conservative voters.
They want to use the resulting revenue to BUY MORE VOTERS.

Setting up the ‘duty to die” scenario, Zeke? This man is 57. In ten years he will have changed his mind. I guarantee it.

My mom is 93 and her wisdom and insights into life are an amazing gift to our extended family.

Don’t forget that he helpeld concieve Obamacare which aims to kill unhealthy seniors.

[dontreadthis]

He’ll get a waiver

Fine for him if that's what he wants. But in typical liberal fashion he wants to impose it on others.

You might try reading the article before making such statements.

The author specifically says he is not proposing policy changes to incentivize or impose this idea. He merely discusses his reasons for holding this opinion and asks others to think about it.

BTW, I found nothing in the article that could be used to figure out whether the gentleman is liberal or conservative.

In some ways this is a very conservative POV.

Why wait Zeke?

PS: Take all of your left wing whinners with you.

[Lurker]

This a hole is on my airport list.

[yldstrk]

How long do we have to wait for this event?

[txrefugee]

Just visit any nursing home. Seventy five is a good time to die.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Death panels.

Of course, it doesn't matter at what age you die, but how you've lived and what you and people surrounding you has got out of it.

I'm 45 years old and already when I was 28 I told myself “If I would die now I would die as a happy man”.

This is not because I didn't have work left to do, but because at that age I had an OK car, a wonderful woman by my side, a decent income, a university degree, had reflected a great deal on life and the world in which I live and had traveled abroad to many fascinating countries.

Most other persons who've managed to reach this perspective on their own existence are way older than 28 (and even 45), but the problem is not that they don't experience a wonderful life until getting old, the problem is that they fail to realize how beautiful life actually is while actually alive.

“They are like him who, in the midst of water, Cries in thirst so imploringly” (I'm not a Zen Buddhist, but this is a pretty good Zen Buddhist saying.)
