I don't care for the CDC. We have too many people anyway.

The elderly have no more duty to die than the newborn. I come from a family where a majority of us live well into out 100's. My aunt is 101 now and fully mentally and physically competent. I can't imagine Aunt Bertha having a duty to die no more than I can imagine me having a duty to die at age 45. She is a vital link to the 19th century and I hope she makes it into the 21st century. She remembers her grandmothers tales of slavery and her grandfather's experiences with the undergroud railroad. She has heard stories of her grandfather's experiences as an indentured servant in New York and how he came to Virginia to seek farmland and a living. Her grandmother was able to tell her of the Great Emancipation and Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War from both the Union and Confederate sides. Aunt Bertha is living history and the future because most of my generation can expect to see our tenth and eleventh decades. I just hope we can put our emphasis on quality of life and preventive medicine so that scarce heath care is available for those who need it. Natalie Belle, Medical Student, Howard University
