 Question 1: When is enough enough?
« Thread Started on Dec 18, 2006, 4:29pm »

Watching this video make me start thinking about specifics like this question implies. It's not enough to agree with someone that you'll take care of them. This question for example. When is enough enough? At this point in my life, I think that it's up to each person's wishes when it comes to that. That is why is important to talk about this when both, the caregiver/s and and the person taken care of are mentally sound.

Also, the wishes of the person being taken care of should be respected once that person's not able to make the decisions. This I believe will lessen the stress of this difficult situation.
