EVERY day we are urged in the press and television to forgo small pleasures - smoking, drinking, eating beef - in the hope that we may live a little longer. Every day I go to visit my husband in a nursing home, where the residents are dying slowly of old age "sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything". Is it really worth it?
