[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the actual article people. He said for HIMSELF he won't get treatment if he gets cancer after 75.[/quote] Exactly. People are misinterpreting what he said and his intentions. He is reasonable in my opinion. I'm a nurse and after a certain point (this varies greatly from person to person based on your current health), some of the treatments have more detrimental effects than benefit. For me personally, like Dr. Emanuel, quality of life will be the most important driver for my medical decision. I'm not going to bother with mammograms, colonoscopies, bone density scans, yearly blood tests, etc. When I'm in my 70s, I don't want chemo for cancer. It's very personal choice.[/quote]
