And I thought we reached the culmination of tastelessness already in some other political and generic threads, but hey - congratulations - you managed to push the standard still lower ... !

Your post may be tongue in cheek, but no doubt there will be people that warm up to that attitude. Of course those people are younger and not the ones in the position of being put down. They are so mercenary that they want this to happen to save costs and get their hands on someone else's hard earned money.
Elder abuse is disgusting and someone needs to stand up to protect those with less control over their lives. The government needs to be their advocate and react immediately to fix any funding shortfalls to ensure that the elderly are looked after instead of being cast aside.
Need to vote Winston Peters back in. He wont let this funding shortfall stand.
Winston could be the savior of OCA
a healthy option but from my experience they tend to overboil it and reduce the nutritional value and no im not a customer yet.
i actually lived in a rest home for 2 yrs as an early 20 something when a family friend gave me one of the rooms when i shifted to auckland from far away. saw first hand the carry on in the kitchen while i was chatting up the cooks
Cheers for the flowers;
Anyway - I have no issues with a respectful discussion about voluntary euthanasia on a thread dedicated to this subject, but I thought that we had this discussion in NZ already, didn't we?
What I find however absolutely disgusting is the way in which you speak about human life and ending it. I certainly hope that nobody will put us down when we are old like people put down an old dog ...
But maybe you are too young to understand that you will be at some stage in this situation as well ... "hey, grand dad - to which euthanasia station do you want us to bring you for your disposal?"
Time flies ...
How about all of those here, who are not invested in OCA, have no intention of ever being, have no genuine interest in the sector/company or elderly people in general .... just go find some other place to "hang out?" This thread just keeps getting side tracked, ad infinitum, to the point of ridiculousness.
As for you Getty ... I fully support people's rights to choose Assisted Dying. I believe it is something we needed. Your comments however, completely disrespect the initiative and process, and are disrespectful to our elderly, and to anyone who chooses Assisted Dying for themselves.
You have much to learn about ageing, but I would be wasting my breath trying to help you understand it.
