That's not a good enough reason, especially if the main barrier for me/us to relocate to the USA is removed i.e, reasonably priced healthcare. Otherwise I/we would certainly consider moving over there.

Your proposal was idiotic, although I do admit it fits your probable intelligence.
You are very rude.
And you can't even put together a decent argument against my 'proposal'0 -

People caring for us in our old age, wiping our rears, taking a hanky to that dribble rolling down our chin, changing our nappies etc are not seen as deserving, rather the devil.
Others, who won't do this for us, those being our immediate family, are seen as the ones who are deserving.
Why is this? In other countries this would be seen as absolutely shocking.
Graham, you may have read more into my words than would be true.
Those who will do such unpleasant things are not the devil. They are potentially saints, probably earning NMW. I was implying that their employers are making a lot of money out of it and I would not want to be in such a place given the choice (my fear is I will not have the choice).
The deserving I was refering to are those who will do such unpleasant things or those I consider to be in need of the money or indeed charities.Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.

No thanks. Save for retirement. Those who don't get a shorter life expectancy due to poor previous investment choices. It would be 5 minutes before that boomer lot would argue it should be 20 quid a day and a room in the Hilton. Knackers yard would be too good for them
Well why not have a free at the point of use system that we pay for in our lives or via an extra tax on death. We could allow people like yourself to opt out. If it turns out you are unable to fund the care you need that will be your problem.Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.

I don't need to put up a 'decent' arguement (do you know the meaning of the word decent?) when discussing compulsory euthanasia as it is an abhorrent proposal. However if I accepted your twisted logic, I would say that I am superior to you (which you, not I brought up) because in your twisted world me being so much richer than you, I am in a position to add much more value than you.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

Sorry, I believe you were euthanised a good couple of hours ago, I would appreciate it if you would stop twitching at your keyboard.0 -

I don't get why it costs what they claim. Say they have a place for 10 oaps, so income of 480 x 10 = 4800
Most care homes only seem to have 2 staff (with what I have seen) so base wage for a whole week of 1039 x 2 people = 2079.
Say 800 towards holiday and sickness pay, ni from employers pay and it takes us to 2879.
Another 300 for food bills makes it up to 3179
400 for food to 3579
200 towards electric and gas to 3779
300 for a manager to 4079
leaves 721 for the accomodation, which doesn't seem much I suppose but if the place is rented I should imagine it would be a lot less as it is weekly. Like someone said someone is making a lot of money.
I think the whole system needs a radical overhall, but something needs to be sorted soon as it isn't getting any better:T:T :beer: :beer::beer::beer: to the lil one
