Believe it or not, I sympathize Larry Send a noteboard - 03/08/2011 01:16:33 AM
My soon-to-be 89 year-old grandmother is entering the last stages of dementia and a decision was made between the doctor and my mom's family to take her off of her cholesterol pills or anything not directly related to dementia-slowing medication. She's now eligible for home visits from hospice care as she's in that "six months to live" phase. I'd much rather she die sooner with some dignity than to have procedures prolong the body functions while her mind withers to the point where she'd forget her children and grandchildren before she dies.

It's a farce to spend billions on Terry Schiavo-like "care."
