I am a baby boomer. I have reached the age where people close to me, young and old, have started to die. Baby boomers are being forced to deal with issues that used to be abstract, issues that our parents had to deal with. Now we are the parents. Uncle Stu was the seventh family member or close friend I have lost in the past 7 years, the fifth in the last 3 years. Should our focus be to extend our loved ones' lives through medical care or to help them have a good death?
