[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I didn't ask to be born, but they didn't ask to get old. When they get old, they are my responsibility, just like I was theirs.[/quote] This. People used to take care of their elderly famliy members. This is how I grew up in the Midwest. I think, as a society, we have lost something vital when we see our elderly as disposable and a hinderance to our lifestyle.[/quote] +1 Your older family members are fortunate! [/quote] People used to have shorter lifespans and better quality of lives their last 5-10 years. Today is vastly different. End of life care prolongs a life (90%+ of one's lifetime of medical costs), that life becomes difficult, filled with meds, side effects, doctor visits, hospital visits, complications, adult diapers, brain and motor skill deterioration, and then a bacteria infection does you in. Totally different than 20-50 years ago. [/quote]
