Why worry about that, he/she can just move in with one of his adult grandchildren and we will pay for his upkeep through Medicare survivor benefits.

And when are we going to see an uproar over a man who sires more babies when he is 70 or 80??? They are honored like it is some huge success - and the women are put down and chastised. Give ma a break!

Personally - I think having babies when you have a good chance of being in assisted living when the kid(s) graduate from HS or college is really the wrong thing to do.

But that is truly my opinion ... and if the capability is there and the cash is there ... it will happen. I just hope for the kids sake that the parents put enough away to support the kids through college (in addition to putting enough away for their own end of life care)

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
