Why is it that in most countries people care for their seniors, taking care of them and sacrificing for them till their dieing day, but in America we throw out our seniors as soon as they seem to be unable to function anymore? We put them into "homes" that basically strips them of their rights, tells them what to do, when to do it, how to do it. We pay top dollar to put our seniors in these homes, where they most often get worse. They develop illnesses that they probably would not have if not for these "homes" like bed sores and incontinence. And a lot of them are abused, physically and emotionally. Is this the right way to treat these people, would YOU want to be treated like this when you are old and "useless"?
