[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1754517, member: 8359"] Legal Euthanasia...can be tough for some to swallow...but at some point it should be legal for family member's to decide when it's time to put their loved one to sleep. I want people to understand there is something FAR WORSE than euthanasia...that's when an old person is kept alive for years and decades with a "feeding tube" pretty much solely for monetary reasons...where family members are using their pension, social security, movie-song rights or VA benefits. This (feeding peg) should be illegal..whereas euthanasia should be done legally when all family members agree. Case in point: Green Acres: Zsa Zsa Gabor [URL='https://people.com/tag/zsa-zsa-gabor/']Zsa Zsa Gabor[/URL] was never one to shy away from [URL='https://people.com/movies/zsa-zsa-gabor-dead-scandals-sad-last-years/']drama[/URL], but the family infighting that surrounded the final years of her life was scandalous even by her standards.
