In terms of age-related restrictions, I think it's a fact of life which in other cases attracts little attention because it's generally accepted as appropriate. How many of us would say that 15-16 year olds should be allowed to hold a driver's licence, or vote? How many think 14-15 year olds should be allowed to marry?

Are you sure Charlie? Dementia (which can easily progress to Delirium) and Parkinson's are scary in this context. If any illnesses are worthy of inclusion those two are.
