IF the time ever comes when she has to make that decision, let us know what she decides.
I have a very feisty 89 Year Old Aunt. She has been Blind for over 60 years due to Glaucoma. When we did her Health Directive, she was very adamant in doing whatever is necessary to keep her alive.
Edward G. Robinson’s character in Soylent Green she is not.
I always think back to the Woman “asking” Lord Obama if her 90+ Year Old Mother should be able to get a Pacemaker of she needed one. She said her Mother was very spirited and lived Life to its fullest. Lord Obama, Commander of the Universe, told the Woman that perhaps her Mother should just take a Pill so there were more resources left for others.
And to think Sarah Palin was slammed for suggesting that Obamacare will depend on Death Panels to keep costs down.
As for me, I have been through two Chemo Programs during the last eight years while being treated for Leukemia. I am now 60 Years Old and I have no idea what I will decide when things get bad, and they will. I’m about 5 to 7 years away from the Expiration Date given to me by my Oncologist.
That being said, nobody speaks for me and my little 89 Year Old Aunt feels the same about herself.
