if you opt to stay home to die but youre in terrible pain, who's going to administer the pain meds? whos going to be there 24/7 to clean up or get you whatever you need? what this article is talking about is either very very very expensive home care or a family that basically become full time carers. with our society no longer advocating communal living and a sort of "every man for themselves" attitude throughout life, how is all of this actually supposed to work in reality? -- nice sentiment but unrealistic except for a very lucky few it seems. this is what hospitals are for now.
