Elderly

[TOF]

This came up a while ago somewhere else. As Scythe has said, it's a subject that's full of dilemmas. Speaking for myself, I'm of the opinion that where possible, you care for your elderly as best you can in the situation you find yourself in. Some will barely last a few days without intenseve care and medication, so it would just be a case of making their time left as comfortable as possible. Scythe also mentioned those not wanting to live, there at least we can now give some a dignified end if they request it.
The one thing I firmly believe is that older members of the community often have a great deal more to offer. Lose the elderly and you lose a significant knowledge base.
