I'm guessing that insurance companies would pay parents to allow the disabled to die. They just haven't had the societal cover to step forward yet with their offers of blood money.

The same with the elderly, severely ill, and infirm.

"Hi, Mr. Smith, I'm with Met Health Insurance and we need to talk about how your NOT receiving care for cancer could result in your heirs receiving benefits that would insure their financial security long after your passing. That would be some wonderful gift for you to leave for them, wouldn't it, Mr. Smith?"

I'd change my will so fast it'd make your head spin!

Very plausible scenario.
The pro-death (aka euthanasia) advocates often play on the emotions of "those left behind" and how they would benefit by a "quick exit" of ol grandma.
Now it can be: "So what if you're not sick now, you will be soon at your age. Why suffer, and save the $$$ for the grandchildren, by taking this little grey colored pill and go to sleep..."

I've heard the last six months of health care are the most expensive, averaging $200,000 -- though this could be an inaccurate #. Suffice it to say, there is a very real financial incentive to shorten that period of time, by insurance carriers and sometimes family members who would rather have the loot than the old coot. No wonder there is a push on to "allow" euthanasia for the old and infirm. Tragic and despicable are two terms for those who would kill innocent babies in the womb and the helpless elderly.
