[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only child here doing elder care for 1 parent. I wish we could be as kind to sick/ aging humans as we are to dogs. Some need to be put down but dont qualify for the very narrow right to die criteria (6 months to live and of sound mind). Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other physically slower deteriorating diseases are very common and it’s purely the greed of aging care industries that these people be kept alive and spoon fed at all costs so they can continue paying $9-15k a month for care. Sorry for the rant I’m just so over it and it’s more cruel when you know your family member in their “right mind” was the person who always said “I don’t want to end up like that/ please just kill me if I’m ever like that, etc”. [/quote] You might find listening to this episode of Kojo Nnandi interesting. Diane Rehm discusses this very issue: https://wamu.org/story/20/02/05/diane-rehms-new-book-when-my-time-comes-takes-on-death/[/quote]
