You won't be asked back.
Right.
And you can do that on a whole host of things.
You know, we've we've sort of focused on frailty and cognitive impairment, but you could think about uh other things that pose risk as people move into their eighties, you know, being
you know, having certain health habits or lacking certain other health habits.
I mean, certain things increase a person's risk, as does age alone of having adverse events, um, even if you're going in very healthy.
Um, and so I think that has to be part of the consideration and we can say, you know, at a population level, which of course media people don't like at all, here is what we know and that can enter into the equation, but I cannot diagnose this human being I've never met.
I think it's an interesting question and it's something we need to be considering as a society across professions.
but then but it's like, why do you take well, maybe you don't need more, but we used to take out some appendixes that were okay so that you didn't leave some, you know, whenever you set a limit.
Um, we've all seen on the younger end of the spectrum, right?
There are kids who, you know, absolutely at 18 or 21 are mature and responsible.
And there are other ones you're like, we need to give this a decade before this guy should be allowed to do X, Y, and C.
So you're gonna make rules that are problematic at each end.
And maybe in old age, as with most things, old age, it's a combination of number plus function.
But the world likes black and white.
And in certain professions, you may have to disqualify some perfectly able people in order to keep out a plurality that may pose risk.
Via illness, uh, you know, incapacity, et cetera, as the odds get so big.
I mean, if you do it like a scale, you think, would you let a hundred and five year old?
I don't think so, a hundred, you know, ninety-five, there is some element there where age begins to matter.
And I don't think we know where it is, because we don't really know what normal aging is.
