Ezekiel Emanuel’s “Why I Hope to Die at 75”

“Seventy-five. That’s how long I want to live: 75 years.” So opens a piece in the September 17 issue of the Atlantic written by Ezekiel J. Emanuel. In “Why I Hope to Die at 75,” Emanuel reasons that by age 75 he “will have lived a complete life.” He writes, “I will have loved and been loved … I will have pursued my life’s projects and made whatever contributions, important or not, I am going to make. And hopefully, I will not have too many mental and physical limitations.”
