I think that's right. Euthanizing someone, and that is what this is. No one wants to say it. But that's exactly what they want to do to Terri. Euthanize..cowards won't say it. That's whats at the heart of this culture of death. Saving money. 20 years ago, they didn't just shut people off like that. Now these spiders want us to believe that death is best.

It's not even just money Virgil, it's that when Mom becomes a problem she'd better only be a little problem because if she isn't then reconsideration is in order.

Part of that is because we've lost that connection and love for extended families being together for their lifetime. Grandma used to be taken in, not sent packing. When real, true love of family breaks down, this kind of stuff happens. Suffering is insufferable to the smooth palmed and well heeled. Life always meant something to those who understood the unfathomable profundity of the precariousness of it.

This is a historical watershed moment, IMO. Recapturing the culture is imperative, but that assumes that there lies somewhere, underpinnings worth recapturing. I do think they are there, but they can't be found in large measure, and for the most part, they can't be found among the upper middle class.
