What is “she”, at her advanced age, going to do with her genital modification?

Next project: breast augmentation at taxpayer’s expense.

And what really worries me is that the GOP, even when in charge, will not correct these conditions but will continue to play the RAT games.

Yup, in both parties. I doubt that the Stupid Party will change any conditions that the Evil Party has established during their reign of terror.

What could he, at ANY age, do with his genital modification mutilation? It's non-functional. Just serves as a sexual spittoon.

> Sooner or later there has to be some blow back against the lunatic left.

Might change the choice of verbiage there as blowing seems to be one of their favorite pasttimes...: )

Yeah, I have a quadriplegic friend whose motorized wheelchair worked a short time. He has to wait years to get it repaired.

They will pay for this crap, but won’t cover a dime of necessary hearing aids?

While your at it I need a hover chair for my severe OA, OP and back degeneration issues. I’m allergic to their crappy meds.

Ah- now comes the question of criteria. How ‘persistent’ do the delusions have to be? Does grandpa have to ask once, three times, over a certain period of time?Who makes the call- the government(driven by PC), the family/caregiver( who might take it personally if the individual is denied their ‘right’?) or the doctors( who will make a bunch of $ from the surgery?) I don’t assume much in the way of common sense or integrity from people anymore. We’re talking degrees of insanity and a judgment call in a medical record.No one has the guts to close the Pandora’s box of PC. What happens to these elderly who chose self-mutlitation- if dementia happens after surgery and their altered body makes them worse-reversal?
Funny isn’t it- the government can entertain the idea that past a certain age you are not ‘worth’ treatment to extend your life, but when it comes to anything sex/deviance related there can be NO age cutoff because PC and politics trumps everything.
