[henyclur] Money and assisted suicide

A battle over money: to heirs, or to end-of-life healthcare providers?

Either way it becomes ugly when against the patient's wishes.

People are very uncomfortable in framing the debate this way, but it is often a significant chunk of change, the entirety of life savings, so there is tremendous incentive for both sides to win.  Money will be discussed extremely obliquely. Expect many code words, euphemisms, and reading between the lines: "Death With Dignity".
