I don't think it's any coincidence this topic comes up now that seniors homes are at capacity.
It's an uncomfortable subject, but we have to ask ourselves how long do we keep people alive for. Is it really more humane to keep those dementia patients locked up, scared and lost in an impersonal care system, or is it better for their suffering to end?
We're going to have lots of derelict old people very shortly and not enough in family care or even home care workers to deal with them. Medicine keeps these old people going for ages.
