The medical world is soo good at keeping the body alive, but they cannot make it enjoyable once you are in the zone past what you would have lived without critical interventions.

I have my aunt who is 85, she had a stroke 5 years ago and came out ok,
now has alzheimers, a terrible decline ahead of her.

She's not competent anymore, on the border of what is still possible to leave living at her home.. I would wish her the dignity of dying in her own home, sparing her the indignity to be told by everybody 'you can't live in your home anymore, you have to go into a home and there live by their rules and routine." It's a terrible thing
Unfortunately her heart is strong, but her mind is falling apart.
I would stop the Azaflow, debetable if she still loves home, but defo when the nursing home comes..

I love her to bits but objectively I wish for her that she doesn't have to go through the indignity of Alzheimer end stage.. the ego loss, the loss of self control, loss of eating impulse; inability to maintain personal hygiene.. Can only think of one wose thing and that is to become fully paralyzed with an active mind..(the opposite)

If I ever get past 75, I'm getting a DNR tattooed on my face
no resussitation
No anti stroke meds.

Let me have it, if found, narcotics only! The more the merrier.
his heart is weak : Narcotics
CT shows a stroke : Narcotics
Keep me high and knocked out till

I would not be interested in healthy living anymore , might even pick up smoking again.
Why not? because it might kill me?

We will take our pet we love to bits, to the vet when the time comes.
But for humans we are unable to step back and look at it with the same objectivity.
it's very controversial I get that. And I'm not saying this is it for your case, or what you should do or how you should perceive it.

Just alternative perspective that perhaps your dad buys into, it may be hard to bring it up.
But you might find relief if you ask him some frank questions about his goals and wishes and what stage of life he thinks he is at?
