[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what OP means is that our culture doesn't value the elderly. They are a burden unlike dogs who are valued through elder years and sickness. Dogs are also euthanized humanely vs the human elderly are left to suffer in pain until death.[/quote] This. My job is dog walking / pet care. My mother has dementia. She would be lovingly put to sleep if she were a dog. My family could end her suffering and grieve and move on. Instead we are forced to watch her continue to deteriorate with a terminal disease that has no cure. In the animal world that would just be perceived as cruel. After 4 years of dealing with various burocracies and systems from health care to elder facilities, I am convinced it’s just about milking as much money from vulnerable people as possible. [/quote]
