So you would let your mom live like that for over 15 years?
Ask her if she agrees.
MY Mom???? LOL!!!!! If you only knew.......
Absolutely, I would. She would be guranteed constant attention and love - which is probably a good indicator why YOU wouldn't want her to have the same.
I wouldn't let my mother live like that for fifteen years. I'd give her the best care and rehab possible, and I'd never say "When is that bitch going to die?" either. I wouldn't put her in hospice when she only needs rehab and normal medical care. I wouldn't lock her in a curtained room alone, bar her from going outside, prevent videotaping of her condition, or try to have her starved to death based on a CAT scan that's ten years old.
Of course, I wouldn't strangle my mom and not call 911 either.
