Should old people with dementia be pushed towards death?

LIFESTYLE. .

The expert on medical ethics said yesterday that elderly people with dementia are wasting people's lives, family's lives, and the resources of the National Health Service. The argument is also supported with the logic that if pain is insufferable, then someone should be given help to die, but only when somebody absolutely and desperately wants to die. However, the expert from the Alzheimer’s Research Trust opposed this and said that people with dementia can live quite comfortably when cared properly.
