If enough time went by and my parents or SO got it in their head that they wanted to keep my body around, then I love them well enough to let them have that bit of me.

But care of that body costs about $80,000 a year, more so if round the clock home nursing is utilized. Assuming at some point your parents or SO would spend down and you became eleigible for Medicaid would you want the government to foot the bill?

Terri's parents have already attempted to care for her, they brought he back after 3 weeks because they were overwhelmed by her needs.
