[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m glad you posted this, I don’t think people realize how expensive it is. We really need to consider universal healthcare, and universal nursing home care. [/quote] What is the point of keeping people with dementia who are bedridden and in diapers alive? I ask in all seriousness. Would anyone want to live like that? [/quote] What other option is there? [/quote] At present, none. I realize we have major cultural barriers to any sort of death with dignity movement, but I think it's a conversation to be had. There's no reason that we can't have detailed end of life plans, like if I am at stage X of dementia and am bedridden and no longer have bowel and bladder control I authorize withdrawal of nutrition and hydration with palliative care for suffering as I die.[/quote]
