Chartseer, If young Zeke wants to stop living at 75, that’s fine with me. But the arguments he lays out are not really meant to be just about himself. He argues that essentially, one should stop living after he or she has led a complete life. According to him, by 75, people have passed their creative peaks. It is all downhill from there. They are being kept alive by the likes of flu and pneumonia shots, vaccines, antibiotics, and better medical care, which keeps them going instead of allowing nature to take its course. That is why, he says at one point, he does not believe people should get flu shots in their 60s: because each one taken by an elderly person is depriving a younger person who needs it to live a full life from having access to it. (He does not explain why both cannot get them.) Both of you are, in my opinion, right. Does an individual have the right to live or die? And, what to do with our resources? That is why many of us have a "living will,""durable power of attorney's for medical and financial reason, and trust's." We, individually make those decisions for our self. Therefore, with this logic, shouldn't a woman or man have the right to choice what to do with there own body, without outside intervention? Shouldn't that judgement be reserved to God as the judge and jury?
