[QUOTE="3Roosters, post: 221792, member: 1351"] No offense, but what if it is YOU who may need the care before your folks? Life happens, things do not always go as planned, no matter how much planning. Same with the argument that I will just have them pull the plug versus laying in a nursing home 24/7. Well..what if the ole ticker is as good as a 30 yr old and pulling the plug doesn't do what it was supposed to do. Perhaps the mind/brain is the issue. I think we all have many many examples of people we know in nursing homes whose hearts are just fine, yet for one reason or another..they need assistance with their activities of daily living. I am sure most of us would rather tip over and die promptly at a time of our choosing without having to burden our loved ones...not sure burden is the right word..but I used it. Kids nowadays live all over the U.S. so having kids keep care of us isn't always an option...and perhaps they are unable to for other reasons. I also agree with getting living wills. Get your stuff in order so your next of kin isn't left guessing or assuming or the State determining this or that. [/QUOTE]
