No worries. Japan has been developing robots to care for old
people for over two decades, with public and private investment accelerating markedly in the 2010s. By 2018, the national government alone had spent well in excess of $300 million funding research and development for such devices.
Care robots come in various shapes and sizes. Some are meant for physical care, including machines that can help lift older people if they’re unable to get up by themselves; assist with mobility and exercise; monitor their physical activity and detect falls; feed them; and help them take a bath or use the toilet. Others are aimed at engaging older people socially and emotionally in order to manage, reduce, and even prevent cognitive decline; they might also provide companionship and therapy for lonely older people, make those with dementia-related conditions easier for care staff to manage, and reduce the number of caregivers required for day-to-day care.
人生的最高境界就是要活得长。要活到子孙都嫌你烦了再走。这样来时带来欢笑，走时不留下悲伤。
衣来伸手饭来张口，不愁吃穿，不用上班，还安排和异性约会。
另，有些疾病是很痛苦的，常年在病榻上依赖各种药物和止痛药，插着管子来维系生命，受罪更无任何尊严可言，真可谓“生不如死”唉。。
对于无质量的，仅仅是活着，早日离去，解脱自己，也造福后辈！！！！！
别举啥子特例。。。周围看到的老人多了去了。。能自理，万事不求人的寥寥无几，85岁以后更是不可能，很多事情老人都做不了，更别提时代变化之快，科技的日新月异，老人玩不转的比比皆是，外出无人陪伴，寸步难行。。。！！！！而困于屋中，很多老人度日如年。。。。

我们教会有个90多岁老牧师，有天上午还在大堂讲道，与往常一样午饭后都会在躺椅子上小睡一会儿，别人试图叫醒他时，才发现已平静过世，没有一点儿痛苦。
以前去见过一个96岁老人，他去过二战，当然有国家养老院养老。他大脑还是清醒，没有癌症，就是器官老化。老伴几年前过世了。
当时他说：I am ready to go.
对他来说，生命已经没有意义。 第二年就平静走了。
昨天见到一位90多老人, 独居, 可开车, 能自顾, 一生幸福, 就是感到活着没有意义了, 纯粹是消耗
不能只研究如何生，也需要研究如何死。
不能只从哲学、伦理学和宗教上去研究如何死，也需要从科学上去研究如何死。具体说，就是如何实现那种在长寿前提下干净利索的死。上面那位朋友说的98岁无痛苦死亡能否通过科学引导来复制，不是安乐死，而是创造最容易突然走的身体条件。
我自己的父母都算长寿，但走的时候太痛苦。
在我的亲戚朋友中只有短寿突然走的，例如一位70岁的表兄在头一天好好的，第二天早上发现在床上已经去世。
大概需要研究哪些长寿而又走得突然的人死亡原因到底是什么。
做进一步穿刺检查，后来出现心肾衰竭，住院，婆婆拒绝吃喝，我感觉她去意已定，她的女儿签字同意不插食管，实在不忍心违背老人，太残忍了，走时安详
知道几个老人都是拒绝食物，走了，要关照小辈尊重老人的选择

我觉得人生是要学会享受，学会去接受一些新鲜事物，去不断学习挑战
