Question description
In 2014, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel argued in the Atlantic that he wants to die by 75.

And that good reason is not “It will prolong your life.” I will stop getting any regular preventive tests, screenings, or interventions. I will accept only palliative—not curative—treatments if I am suffering pain or other disability.
He was recently named to the Biden-Harris COVID task force.
