It is the same reason so many schools are pushing the need for psychology and sociology, so that professionals better understand the needs of different types of people.

Where would you draw the line? (What if it's important to grandpa to drive?) Has this been an issue in your extended family?<br /><br />I believe that this should be allowed on certain conditions. I think that those who are considered chronologically "elderly" should be not held back physically or socially simply due to this fact as I know some people in their 60's that are more active and able bodied than their younger peers. However, if the individual clearly is not healthy enough to safely complete or participate in the particular task or could potentially endanger others then I think the answer is clear. With that being said, I think we would say this about any individual not just the elderly. My mother had had an experience with late grandfather on her side of the family concerning driving which was a due to his inability to drive without the potential endangerment of other drivers.

To what extent is it a proper concern of medical professionals to accommodate patients' wishes in this regard?<br /><br />I don't know about the locale, but I expect to die in action, even if it's just reading a book. The prospect of waiting for death does not suit me. Either I will be able to continue doing the things I love or it is time to let go. I suppose the same goes for the second question. This is how I want to do. If I could choose the place, though, I would probably pick home in my reading chair or on the beach. A hospital is simply not an option.<br />I am not a medical professional nor do I have any desire to be one. However, I think some responsibility for the patient's wishes must be acknowledged. If the person doesn't want to die in the hospital, this is a simple and deserved right. Doctors shouldn't get to make that decision for them. Occasionally, of course, people get grandiose ideas and believe they are exempt from rule due to their terminal status. The doctor should not have to endanger his/her medical license or provide services beyond basic necessary care. Respecting wishes is one thing, taking on the responsibility of making them come true is entirely another.Alexandria Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18092644261490716101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277984098153355193.post-62911527411005177912016-04-12T14:01:48.621-05:002016-04-12T14:01:48.621-05:00Quiz Question

Where would you draw the line? (What if it's important to grandpa to drive?) Has this been an issue in your extended family?<br /><br />Answer: I do not agree with elderly people undertaking dangerous daily activities. It is important for anyone, not only the elderly, to protect themselves to the best of their ability. If the risk is small, then I believe that person should be able to continue to do what they enjoy; however I do not agree with a 90 year old man riding a horse because if he were to fall, he may not be able to recover. I encountered a situation related to this in my own family. My grandmother is 67 years old and she loves to ride bikes. A few years ago we saw no real risk, so we allowed her to ride her bike in peace. However, after two knee replacements, the thought of my grandmother on a bike in the woods worried my family. So, as an alternative, we suggested that she invest in a indoor bike. She loved the idea and all of our minds are at ease.

Where would you draw the line? (What if it's important to grandpa to drive?) Has this been an issue in your extended family?<br />I am currently dealing with this issue somewhat. My grandmother is 76 years old and lives alone, she still drives herself around but not often, which we are thankful for, but it still worries me. The reason I'm worried is because she is not as sharp as she once was, this is evident when we play cards, and a drop in mental acuity could cause her to potentially wreck, we all know what horrible drivers are on the roads. As the youngest in the family I don't want to tell her to stop driving all together but I don't see how much safer she can get.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267919853006982562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277984098153355193.post-19033073663144556432016-04-12T11:34:59.503-05:002016-04-12T11:34:59.503-05:00Weird Deaths:

To what extent is it a proper concern of medical professionals to accommodate patients' wishes in this regard?<br /><br />I expect to die either in a hospital after a rush to get there or at home. I want to die at my property in the country that I aquired from my hard work. I expect most likely to die from cancer due to my family history but not until I am at least in my 80's unless something crazy caused my death unexpectedly (air plane jump accident, etc.). I want to live life to the fullest in my own way with my family and friends. <br />Doctors should allow patients to die as they wish as long as the results do not physically harm anyone else. They should not be regarded as a science experiment unless that is their true wish and decision.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899699735434037153noreply@blogger.com
