1. I disagree on this. Leave the big 3 alone. They are about all of the safety net we have left. As to

limits in ones life. No one has to give up because they decide to have a living will that says they do not want to be placed on life supports after 75 years of age. And that is all he said. I have a living will at age 73 and have no intention of giving up any part of life until the conditions in that will are met - i.e. I do not intend to lay in a nursing home for years totally unable to enjoy life.

When I was 72 I almost caused an accident driving. The accident would have involved 3 cars. I went home gave my grandson the keys to his car and have never driven again. From your logic I should get out there and see how many other lives I can put into jeopardy.

I am not going to die any time soon but I am also not going to live to be 150 years old. That is a fantasy. A living will takes into account that tomorrow any of us regardless of age could die. That is a reality.
