A WHOPPING 56% of Americans Say They are Better off Today (Mid-Pandemic) than Under Obama-Biden
Oncologist Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel argued In a 2014 article that life is not worth living beyond the age of 75
One of the 10 advisory board members on Joe Biden’s new coronavirus task force, Dr. Zeke Emanuel, once argued that life is not worth living past 75.
This poses an interesting question since Former Vice President Joe Biden is now 77. In a 2014 Atlantic essay titled ‘Why I Hope to Die at 75’, Emanuel goes on to explain many reasons why we should not live past 75. What does this mean for the elderly across the nation affected with covid-19 that he would be entrusted with protecting?
The oncologist, 63, wrote at the time that he believed by 75, ‘creativity, originality and productivity are pretty much gone for the vast, vast majority of us.’
He suggested that society, as well as family members, would be ‘better off’ if nature took ‘its course swiftly and promptly’.
Emanuel also stated that beyond the age of 75, he personally will begin rejecting routine medical treatments such as flu shots.
‘Flu shots are out,’ he wrote. ‘Certainly if there were to be a flu pandemic, a younger person who has yet to live a complete life ought to get the vaccine or any antiviral drugs.’
Emanuel argued in his essay that since the 1960s, ‘increases in longevity have been achieved mainly by extending the lives of people over 60. Rather than saving more young people, we are stretching out old age.’
‘It is true that compared with their counterparts 50 years ago, seniors today are less disabled and more mobile,’ he continued. ‘But over recent decades, increases in longevity seem to have been accompanied by increases in disability—not decreases.’
Emanuel went on to say, “Americans seem to be obsessed with exercising, doing mental puzzles, consuming various juice and protein concoctions, sticking to strict diets, and popping vitamins and supplements, all in a valiant effort to cheat death and prolong life as long as possible. I reject this notion, I think this manic desperation to endlessly extend life is misguided and potentially destructive. For many reasons, 75 is a pretty good age to aim to stop.”
We can only wonder if Dr. Emanuel was the advisor to Governors Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.), Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.), Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.), Tom Wolf (D-Pa.), and Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) whose decision to put covid patients in nursing homes cost the lives of thousands.
