Senior Citizens should be allowed to choose euthanasia rather than be forced to end their lives in pain or incarcerated in a nursing home . If they know they have dementia or some other degenerative disease they should be able to sign a document asking for euthanasia rather than becoming a burden on family or the state .The state does not have the resources to give adequate care . I would certainly rather die than see my estate being claimed by the government knowing that I was being forced to pay twice for my care . I want my family to inherit that for which I have spent my life working . Surely this would help the government deal with the abundance of elderly people saving them money on pensions and medical care.
