It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional.Small wonder.Americans’ life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century.Failing hips can be replaced, cataracts removed in a 30-minutes surgical procedure.Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago.But not even a great health-care system can cure death, and【T10】______
Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions.We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved.Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it’s useless.The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care.Physicians—frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient—too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.
