[quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem is that, in modern times, people are much more likely to live longer with problems. People are living longer and longer with diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, meaning they need more years of care (more than a caregiver can give without burning out) and spend more time in the advanced stages of the disease (when they need the most care). On top of that, people who have strokes and heart attacks and falls are less likely to die of them thanks to interventions in emergency medicine, surgery, and intensive care--instead, they live (often for years), but in a reduced state of health requiring care. Also, people are less likely to die of infectious diseases, etc., further increasing their likelihood of reaching old age and dying a slow death from dementia and diminished abilities.[/quote]
