It's disgusting how someone can be trusted with the care of another and then abuse that trust. I can only hope that the woman is happier now than she was before.

I'm an Aspie in Canada and the thought of people like that make me cringe. I hope they get punished to the extent of the law. Even that won't rectify that a wonderful life is lost.

I was speaking from my viewpoint as a christian, but I suppose to people who don't believe in afterlifes that could have been confusing.

I'd think from a Christian point of view or not, a life is better lived without what she had to put up with than being dead honestly. She had every right to live if it wasn't for her irresponsible sister and partner. I don't consider her death something that would make her happier... she would have been likely happier if her own family cared for her.

I very much doubt a corpse is happy (it's also pretty sick to suggest someone who is dead might be happier now)

Yes, I agree she probably would have been, but she wasn't was she? This is what I meant, she seems to have had a horrible life with those people and I hope (bearing in mind I believe she went to heaven) she is happier now. I never meant anything other than death could be seen as a release from the neglect she suffered, but not everyone agrees with me.

Well hopefully someone will feel the same way when you go perhaps... death doesn't equate to happiness, if you're dead you feel nothing, simple as that your body is dead... that's the plain reality.

It's Canada, so no death penalty :evil: .

Are you obsessed with death or something?

No, but I think that these people shouldn't be given the right to live after this type of gross negligence towards a fellow human. And stop assuming that you know everything about me, you still need to get off your perch.

It appears that the dead woman wasn't a blood relative of either of the people who severely neglected her (or worse). This case just reinforces my scepticism about family relationships between people who aren't blood relatives. I'm a sociobiologist from way back. Blood is thicker than water.

Yes, they would have been getting a check every month for providing her care, and providing completely inadequate and dangerously negligent care to her.

There are other options if you cannot care for someone and they could die of neglect.
Even if they took her to a hospital, as she surely must have needed medical care before she died.
I can't believe they cared at all.

I've read that a few of the prescription drugs that are commonly given to the elderly can actually cause dementia. I'd prefer to die with all of my marbles!
