Life -Quality or Quantity?

In serving as a chaplain for many years, I witnessed so often how folks were willing to spend all of their money on staying alive. They may have quantity -more and more folks in our society live to 90 years and beyond-but alas, the quality is really not there. As the cartoon suggests, we are a death denying society and some folks will pay as much as they can to postpone it. I hope and pray that if I get old and unable to make decisions that my loved ones will not choose expensive, heroic measures to keep me alive.
