[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2691317, member: 521715"] Now that deaths from heart disease caused by smoking have greatly reduced, and deaths from cancer reduce due to earlier diagnosis and treatment, and deaths from accidents reduce (bless health and safety) the medical profession does seem to have a desire to reduce deaths even more...but surely humans have a limited span and the aim of reducing or delaying all deaths is futile. From what I've read the days extra of life span due to things like statins are simply that, a few days which in the scheme of 80+ years is negligible . It's the concentration on length of life that infuriates me. I'm far better motivated to have a good life, with my digits and limbs and eyesight intact than to live for a few days more limping and blind. I do wish they'd concentrate on quality and motivation and encouragement than pills, medication and duration. Just my humble opinion, and a bit of a rant, sorry [/QUOTE]
