"I believe in individual rights," My mom argues, providing justification that if Grandma wants to live alone and die out there without any family or support, then she should be allowed to just grow old and die of some complication from her diabetes or maybe from an accident or fall or E.coli and/or salmonella from the old, hot dairy she's consuming.
Somehow I just can't ride that wagon train, feeling like it's a bit too convenient for the people around her who can now morally and righteously ignore her because she makes other people uncomfortable or even angry--but at least she can live the life she wants to, right? She has freedom from an assisted living center. Freedom, hmmm...
