Sure we all want to live and enjoy life even as a quad, but what if family does not care enough to sacrifice being a caregiver-- or with healthcare costs getting out of hand the person does not qualify for paid caregiver help??? Although I do believe many of us have as much right to life as the murderers and hard core criminals in our prisons that cost our government billions of dollars for their care each and every year. (do any of you agree or have thoughts on this??) Dan H***
