It is a real health problem, and it is nice to give the elders the ability to do what is considered normal for any other human at a younger age,(knowing that I am against sex outside marital relationships, but it’s not about me here...) but Viagra; I mean, is that OK to give to an 80 year-old? and I mean medically here... I think they should be doing tests and stuff before they move towards this step and start giving people pills that may end up killing them.

The participants are put thru an ”indepth health exam” before being given the pills, but I wonder...These health exams are done PRE-VIAGRA...You’re right, what are their conditions POST-VIAGRA, besides happy? Can ”too much of a good thing” apply here, maybe that’s exactly why our bodies start ”changing” as we age..

But hey, if it makes them happy..

I would have much prefered the mayor to offer free health exams and medicines FIRST , not Viagra fIRST.

Hi Ms. Jill,

I haven’t ”seen” you for a bit. I’m glad you dropped by and found my post interesting.

In similar manner, in some parts of Brazil, the Govt. authorities in 2007 or so had started distributing free viagra, but the tablets were handed into the hands of women so that their husbands could use them selectively to please their wives, not their girlfriends.

Two years ago, a news item that appeared in New York Sun had also stated that a couple had asked their relatives to put Viagra tablets into their common single grave after their death. This, in my opinion, could be a “grave” advertisement tactic of Pfizer company for popularizing its product ( VIAGRA ) among the dead, for their ’after-life enjoyment’. In this context a poem of the 19th Centuty American poet, Louise Chandler Moulton, could be recalled :

AT DAWN OF LOVE, AT DAWN OF LIFE,

AT DAWN OF PEACE THAT FOLLOWS STRIFE,

AT DAWN OF ALL WE LONG FOR SO—

THE SUN IS RISING—LET US GO.
