I'm asking YOU....would YOU want to burden your loved ones with the task of taking care of your body indefinitely?

Were there nobody who wanted to care for me, I would not want my loved ones to be always out of my side out of a sense of begrudging obligation. On the other hand, if one of my relatives wanted to care for me, even if others did not, I would not want the latter people to prevent the former from doing so.

I find it interesting that the "Who will pay for this" question evolves quickly into "Shouldn't you be dead meat so you're not a burden?"

In other words, the rationale changes, but more dead disabled folk is always the object.
