Most of our parents cared for us and raised us so when they get older and are needing care for themselves, would you bring them into your home and take care of them? Would you feel obligated to do so or would you place them in a nursing home?

I would care for mine in my own home until the end.

I still live with my mom (yeah I'm a loser lol). When she is unable to look after herself, I will step in and do what is needed.

I would not want her to end up in a home if I can help it.

I'm amused at the idea of mum and dad living in the same house. Maybe if by then they're both completely senile then they won't mind.

Yet I believe there's still a strong cause and need for euthanasia. But in a subtle way. What if we were to make the font smaller on road signs?

If you are in good health and 24/24 can be with them,, that's great.
They can be more healthy than us ,, so many factors that could lead to practical solutions.

Nice....how about removing all those aged 30 as this is a higher number of the working population...this will give a great influx of new talent from all the new 20 yr olds...also saving a considerable amount on future pensions each country would have had 10 years input in tax and insurance...saving this in government owned banks from which they can borrow to pay off debts...considering most of those in this age group in UK have politically different agendas from those in older ages...... Bingo...and Yes Obs would have the biggest needle of All....rolling on the floor laughing

I am sad to say after caring for my mother for forty seven years, Recently she has moved on to a different level of expression. In their home, or yours is way better. Probably depends on your place of where you are living. A lot of facilities are not safe.I had experience with this after an incident. I had to go every day, at least. Keep parents in your home, if you are capable. GOOD POST ! PEACE HH
