If I were handicapped to where I could no longer bathe, eat or go to the bathroom, I would definately want to die rather than rack up a few hundred thousand dollars for my kids to pay. Kill me I would say. If not, I would do it myself.
A life without any quality is not a life worth living. |
But you are weak and vulnerable, you just haven't realized it yet. And stop racking up a few thousand dollars for Welfare to pay while you're being so considerate. |
Maybe I'm missing your point, or maybe I misunderstood Pretty Red, but I think she's talking about horribly long stints in the hospital with the inevitable final conclusion: leaving a financial mess for others to clean up, not welfare. Did I miss something in her comments that refers to welfare?

Hmmm, seems to indicate NOT welfare. So are we talking about a misunderstanding here, or just the kind of insensitivity Pretty Red is refering too? Some of us get more of it than others. Sometimes I think some people just have an invisible target drawn on their backs, or fate has put a "please kick me" sign there, visible only to all the smart ass bullies out there who get pleasure out of making self serving assumptions about others and acting superior. Then we wonder why suicide rates are high?
