[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imho, for elders the physiological affects of treatment is more than most can bare. It's harder on them than the reality of dying. Please let it always be their decision, without judgement, and not a decision they make based on loved one's emotions.[/quote] Why infantilize the elderly? I agree to respect their wishes entirely, and without judgment, and without regard to what the family would want. But, barring dementia or something like that, we should not assume that elderly are not able to mentally cope with treatments less than younger adults. [/quote] Doesn't physiological mean physical symptoms, not mental ones?[/quote] Yes. I think pp misread the post. [/quote] That's embarrassing![/quote]
