Honestly, I think people should have the option.  My MIL had early onset dementia so in her late 60's she couldn't function on her own anymore.  I think if she had the choice she'd go to sleep and never wake up.  I know I would and would want someone to make that decision for me if I had to live like she did.

The nursing home she was in was one of the first to get the virus.  They didn't regularly change gloves or wash hands between each resident.  They only bathed the residents twice a week.  They'd use the same cleaning supplies (rags, mops, water) between each room and common room so the floors were mopped with a dirty mop and water.  They also had residents sitting in the dining room lined up next to each other for hours on end (sometimes without staff as there were only two per 12 or so residents and if someone in their room needed something).  I never saw any protective gear.

Once these folks get a major cold or flu, the nursing homes don't try to treat it or anything.  You are forced to use their doctors who do nothing (or have to basically kidnap them to take them to the ER or outside doctor and if you do they don't follow the orders).

They also do a lot of force feeding but its a catch 22 as if they don't force it lots of residents don't eat.  But, if it goes down wrong, they get pneumonia and die.[/quote]
