The potential for abuse is certainly present, but the article reveals few relevant facts. I have seen cases myself in which an aged person believes himself to be fully capable of taking care of himself but in fact is demonstrably impaired by dementia. You have to ask yourself--is it wise to send an 85 year old post surgery patient home to live alone? When you don't know whether he understands what time of day it is?

Do you think it prudent for *The State* to make such a decision?

“But the state doesn’t have to give him anything once he is placed in its captivity. If the temporary guardianship is turned into permanent guardianship, Fink will not see another day as a free man. He will be locked up, forcibly medicated, and controlled in every way until he dies.”
