Read the other posts I’ve made on this thread. Lauren’s family HAS NOT indicated the finances are a factor in their decision one way or another. Therefore, it is pointless to speculate on it.

Keep in mind that when Terri Schiavo was being murdered there were people coming forward not only offering to pay for her care, but also to pay her estranged husband to leave her alone.

It is a straw man argument to try to make a life and death issue about money when none of the interested parties have even brought it up.

“It is a straw man argument to try to make a life and death issue about money when none of the interested parties have even brought it up.”

I’m not the one who brought up the subject of money. I merely replied to one of your posts about money and what I thought was a pretty naive assumption that these folks can be cared for inexpensively at home (I didn’t even mention all the medical equipment you skipped over, the expertise needed by the caregiver, the fact that the caregiver has to be physically and psychologically capable of doing it, etc).

I know that people were offering to pay for Terri’s care, but that’s an extremely rare exception. Usually you either have the cash, you go on the public dole, or you simply don’t get the care you need. Generally speaking, you don’t have strangers rushing in to pick up the bill.
