[quote=Anonymous]This piece was in the Daily Mail yesterday, very relevant to this thread conversation and contains thought provoking questions. It’s about a dad and disabled son in the UK, but as a caregiver in the USA I can attest that the problems described in the article are as bad or much worse in most of the USA. Disabled people face lives of uncertainty and exploitation/abuse if they are not independently wealthy and if they don’t have excellent guardians protecting their fiscal and medical best interests. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11713065/BBCs-Humphrey-Hawksley-admits-keeping-disabled-autistic-son-Christopher-alive-wrong.html BBC journalist Humphrey Hawksley poignantly admits keeping his severely disabled and autistic son Christopher, now 26, alive might have been the wrong thing to do - 20 years after writing despairingly of the dearth of help for his boy [/quote]
