I'd have done so, and paid for it royally later in the psychological aftermath. But I'd have done it: so many ruined, curtailed lives.Will Rubbishhttp://www. georgeszirtes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-57090941836401787702011-05-06T21:38:49.074+01:002011-05-06T21:38:49.074+01:00Thank you very much, Mark.

No one knows the answer to this. We live longer, and for some of those extra years, we might live better than previous ages could have imagined possible. The idea of the Swiss vet appeals to me, but then there are other times I look at something as common as a hedge and think: it's good to be seeing that. I won't be seeing it for ever.George Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889600788146987089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-90596273022512068152011-05-06T16:18:56.022+01:002011-05-06T16:18:56.022+01:00Just heard a story on NPR about elder abuse, condi...Just heard a story on NPR about elder abuse, conditions in assisted living facilities, and suspicious deaths of several, including one woman with a lifelong fear of water who went past a broken camera, out an un-alarmed door and drowned in 18 inches of water in the middle of the night. What can be done for the increasing numbers of people who are living longer than ever? <br /><br />Grandma used to say, "just take me to the vet."danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902311224633734779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-58537534158014229892011-05-06T09:06:18.922+01:002011-05-06T09:06:18.922+01:00BrilliantBrilliantAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303797474650920710noreply@blogger.com
