[quote=Anonymous]The book "Being Mortal" discusses this idea. As the children of aging parents we want to prioritize safety over everything else but the elder may prioritize autonomy/independence. And that may be the best thing. A possibly shorter life but lived on one's own terms. I know when I think of aging myself, I'd pick the shorter life if the alternative is safe isolation in a nursing home [/quote]
