‘I won’t live to see you reach a similar age, but I suspect you may have a different view when you get there.’
No, I won’t. I will not be getting colonoscopies when I am 95, I can assure you.
And who is assuming they have the right to determine the quality of her life? She has been denied nothing - ever. None of these unnecessary procedures have enhanced the quality of her life, and neither have the excessive medications. I’m not going to convince you, but the medicare abuses in South Florida are well-documented.
I am already convinced of the abuse, that was not the discussion I was having. I am opposed to other people deciding the quality of life for anyone. Euthanasia is very common in countries that have adopted the right to die with dignity nonsense, and it is fast becoming the norm in this country.
Old people with estates are prime targets for both sides, the medical side wants to bilk the estate and the grand kids want to smother them, to preserver the inheritance.
