[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suggest reading an article called "the pacemaker that ruined my mothers life" on NYTimes website. [/quote] NP. I looked this up and the story does not apply here at all. That story was a complaint that a pacemaker extended the life of someone who had a poor quality of life from dementia. It did not cause the dementia.[/quote] NP. Did you actually read the article, from start to finish? The point is that medical technology is extending people's lives for far longer than otherwise would (and arguably, in some cases, should) be. It can lead to a gnarly end of life that could have been simpler and more merciful. [/quote]
