Re: @Worstal - you're slightly off there.
amputations starting at toes and nibbling upwards are usually caused by too many cigs and stogies. Just FYI.
Non diabetic never smokers tend not to get peripheral vascular disease, and traumatic amputation is rarely progressive or age dependent.
Much the same applies to "heart surgeries", by which I assume you mean coronary artery bypass grafting - try to guess the 2 biggest modifiable risk factors. (Alright, age is the biggest unmodifiable risk iirc.)
And renal transplants? I'd prefer one to dialysis or death, the other options available if a transplant is offered. They tend not to get offered to the frail elderly.
So you're basing your choices on erroneous information. They remain, however, your choices.
