Yes… I’ve had some pretty frank discussions with my father, who is a retired physician. Because he lives alone, he is (justifiably) concerned that if found unconscious he will subjected to things he would not choose.
Odd how (as a society) we are so unwilling to prevent infectious disease with real and significant risks of disease or death, and then rush in to ‘save’ the life of a dying 90 year old.
