treatment should be withheld for the elderly.

If they ever tried to withhold treatment from my mother, I think I would probably do something evil. I couldn't stand by for that. These people frighten me.

We've gone through it and the sad fact was it was very important to know who to trust. In my in laws case, most older direct offspring were for following doctors recommendation. We found our allies in the adult grandchildren taking a position polar opposite of their parents. Those kids were raised in liberal homes and liberal schools. Anyway I was surprised by it.

End of the story was that treatment was successful and he lived a couple more good years.
