Ahah!
Now that's a whole nuther can of worms....
It depends on the interpretation of dependant. Are any of us truly independant? I think not. In our society we depend on so many services..... that's another tangent.

Heavy burden - another, even bigger can of worms. On whom would the burden be? The child / parent / taxpayer? Burdens vary too, be they physical, psychological, or just plain cuntful.

Another question you threw in, who gets to make the call?
Brings so many other queries to mind....
How to differentiate between existence / some modicome of quality of life?
How do we measure quality vs quantity of life?

Fucked if I know. But this weeks question has been the most thought provoking since I signed UP to this website.
