To the Editor:
Mr. Vicari wrote an opinion piece high on indignation and short on honest evaluation (“Sayonara at 75? Seniors Prove Otherwise,” 1/29), but it’s interesting to note that the article written by Ezekiel Emanuel about dying at 75 was published in the Atlantic in 2014. Did Vicari compartmentalize his faux affront for six years?
The article by Dr. Emanuel is nuanced and discusses the reasons why someone might choose to be finished with life, not end it.
