[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why everyone feels the boomers are so selfish they live so long and then instead of using the wealth they took from their children for inheritance they burn it up in elderly care[/quote]

What should they do then, kill themselves?[/quote]

Stop life prolonging measures.  That's what I will do.  It's actually pretty simple.   If it's pain just give me pain killer, let me get addicted, then I'll die a painless death.  Seriously, I won't need a new hip after 70 or a heart or whatever, just pain killer if I'm in pain.[/quote]

That’s fine and you can do that but it’s not simple. If you need a new hip but don’t get one, you’ll become completely immobile and bedridden. Someone will have to care for you 24/7. And you could live a long time that way. Doesn’t sound so fun—for you or your caregiver. It’s not like you just elect not to do a surgery/other procedure/take a certain medication and then you’re dead in a few days-weeks. You could live years like that. [/quote]
