What's the greatest thing the Baby Boomer generation achieved?
One thing that is kind of a side effect of the boomer generation is that as we all have gotten older, we have demanded better and more innovative medical care, which will benefit all the generations that follow. Total knee replacements. Better diabetes control. High tech changes to treat hearing loss. There have been so many changes for the better as a result of this huge mass of people needing help
As an older GenXer, I have my fingers crossed that the Baby Boomers will similarly demand improvements to nursing care and end of life care. My little generation will do our best, but we can't do it alone and will be throwing in our lot with with what's left of the older generation.
As a millennial, I hope advances are made regarding death with dignity as well.
As a boomer w a mom dying in a nursing home, we need much more advancement in this area.
Early millennial here with a grandparent who had Alzheimer's for 10 years and was a vegetable for 9 of it. I agree.
