By Brian Holden, published 28/5/2010

We all hope to remain vigorous into our 80s but if serious malfunctions occur then nature is saying it's time to leave.

Bushy, thanks for the suggestions, but she is now 99, & totally bedridden. She can no longer stand, even to get into a wheel chair.

It's too much for me, & she needs better care than I can give.

I am very happy with her care, as she has got, physically, more healthy since going in there.

I just hope we can sort the money bit, before I go broke.

Hasbeen,99! well - I suspect you aren't a spring chicken either? LOL
But best of luck and God Bless poor old mum, maybe she will live long
enough to get the Queen's telegram or is it the Governor General's in
Australia.

That's my share for today, keep well everyone. For as long as you want
too.

The subject of euthanasia is a particularly hard one.
Who gets to decide?
It becomes more of a situation of human morals not necessarily based on any religious belief.
I agree that when a person becomes vegetative it may not be the right thing to keep them alive artificially but who decides the cutoff point?
I do believe in the idea of being able to decide for one's self.
