You are so right-on, T'wit. This is what Iv'e thought all along. Florida knows it has an aging population. They want the money, but not us. As a person nearing retirement, I can tell you, nobody has any patience whatsoever with the aging. Just listen to our young..."Old fashioned," "one foot in the grave, and another on a bannana peel, and "not in the know." (like bringing up the Ten Commandments, or taking the time to actually read contracts before signing due to a great deal of expeierence, and not senility. Warning about sin, debt, prodigality, etc.)
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm changing my will today to read that if any of my heirs has any part whatsoever in "pulling my plug" they get---nothing, nada, zilch. They're also going to have to pay the estate back for any and all loans before they can interit anything. All these idiots posting that they'd not want to live like Terri, are cowardly wimps with no rage to live.
Gee - what an interesting point.
Florida has a HUGE retirement population and it is to Florida's interest to be able to "pull the plug" on those "inconvenient" and to absorb their assets if no relatives found.
I had not thought of this - but it sure does explain the death culture rife through the courts. Of course, they mean death to those they determine unfit - not them.
