“Financial help will be given directly to the RPA based on the needs of each resident, but each resident must consent and give their authorization for the RPA to receive the funding.” Why would a resident say no? And it varies greatly among residents and residences, but many residents are no longer mentally capable of giving consent to anything. Some are under curatorship, but most aren’t; is someone, independent from the RPA, going to be appointed to make the decision for them, and will it ever be anything but yes?

Maybe because they don’t have to have unionized employees?

If it’s nationalized, the employees will need to be unionized.
Just saying the words “Curateur Generale” gives me PTSD. Please people, make a living will, or functionaries will make decisions for you and sell of your jewelry and possessions for a $1.

Also have a pre arranged funeral. It’s so much better for your family. And once again the tax payers have to bail out the private system.

I know it’s not for everyone, but I have registered to donate my body for teaching and research purposes.

Thank you!

I thought they didn’t do that any more – that it was all done with computer simulations.

Gross anatomy still uses cadavers to get the kids used to anatomical variations. I’ll probably end up in a bucket of knuckles, but that’s fine by me.
