One question is often asked: "Ultimately to spend so much money and effort to research how to cure these elderly patients, who are only going to slide gradually down-hill to death, after all what value does this have?"
每當世界老年醫學年會舉辦時，有一個疑問總會被提起：「究竟，花這麼多金錢和心血，去研究如何治療這些不事生產、不能進步、只會逐步走下坡，乃至於跌進死亡之谷的老年人，到底有沒有價值？」
