Windsor 2,142 Posted February 20, 2023 Biden is in pretty good shape for his age, particularly when you consider the job. The guys on here with boners for Trump need to apply a more objective eye. PS. Regarding Carter, Lord Field has been in hospice care for over 12 months. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carter's presidency is viewed as weak (mostly because of the energy crisis and Iran hostage crisis), but his actions post-presidency have been viewed as admirable (Habitats for Humanity, efforts to eradicate dracunculiasis). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok. I just wanted to be sure, being not at all fluent in Italian. Maybe the Americans also respect his longevity, his respect for his opponents (for example he criticized Trump bashing) He is also very religious, which must mean something for Republicans and/or conservatives 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mollyafox 446 Posted February 20, 2023 Amid news of Carter entering hospice, dozens of people made their way to the Carter Center to pay their respects, and his niece Kim Fuller made an emotional speech at the church where he taught Sunday School for many years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sklauda1 19 Posted February 20, 2023 Him going into hospice means he's going to decline FAST, so it's the beginning of grieving. Everyone has a ton of respect for him because he did so much humanitarian work after his presidency. They want to wish him a happy rest and thank him before he goes, which I can respect. I hope he knows how much people loved him whether they think he was a good president or not. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,031 Posted February 20, 2023 My online friend's mother got diagnosed with cancer around October. She went in a hospice in January and last weekend there was a funeral for her day after her death (it's a Portugese thing). Big rapid decline once she entered hospice care.

It varies.My great uncle was in hospice care with end stage lung cancer for 5 months.He wasn't anywhere near as old or frail as Carter was when he went into hospice though. In the last photos of Carter he looks very thin and frailand has likely lost weight since so he has gone onto hospice care with very little bodyweight to live off of which means he most likely won't last more than a matter of days. I wonder whether this final decline is simply due to extreme old age or whether he has been diagnosed with cancer again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't even need to be cancer. Kidney failure is a common one at that age, and comes to mind as something he could have treated if he wished. Pancreatic cancer is a bit too fatal. This news strikes me as Carter deciding at his age it's time to take something he could have fought a decade ago as the sign its time to go. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also it would be pretty awful if he died on the operating table at 98. Far better for all concerned for him to gradually slip away under hospice care at that age tbh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
