<HTML>I am aware of two excellent essays which treat the topic of aging and
halacha. Rabbi Menachem Slei's essay on this topic appears in Techumin
volume seven pages 255 to 276.Rabbi Yigal Shafran's discussion of the
propriety of coercing elderly parents to receive medical treatment appears
in Techumin volume 14 pages 333 to 351.
