Bill Gates may be amoung the oldest of the old before he runns out of money enough to afford the latest and greatest of medical care.

Hey, it is their money, so they should be able to disburse it however and to whomever they want and when.

I guess the issue is whether to "go all out" over a fewer number of years or distribute it in "dribs and drabs" over a longer period of time.

I can't say it matters all that much either way as you could probably postulate suitable positions on either approach.

Gates is endowing an institution of charity in the tradition of Carnege .

But I also wonder how long it is possible to live .
