Personally, I'm fully on board with 1, and disagree with 2, but I don't see why the appalled reactions, i.e.:
I also agree with #1, and disagree with #2. My mom agrees with #2, and she harps on me to honor her wishes. I hope I can convince her to change her mind before it gets to that point, because I want her to live to 100 like Petra's friend. The way I figure it, she'd have to be a burden on me for at least 31 years (so far) for us to even be square.
