I was talking with someone from work about this tonight. I agree that when someone is all but a vegetable and past the age of 60 (or so) its not really worth the ntenth thousands of dollars spent to keep them alive everyday. This money should be given to schools. Think about it this way: We could either pay to keep grandma in a nursing home, where she hates it and is treated like shit, or we can put lil billy through med school, where he can learn how to prolong the lives of others. Hmm.. tough choice...
