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

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.
