GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — Nobody has a dementia diagnosis yet, but the first hip and knee replacements are on the horizon. So are wheelchair ramps, sleep apnea breathing masks, grab bars on cell walls and, perhaps, dialysis. Hospice care is on the agenda.

More than 17 years after choosing the American military base in Cuba as “the least worst place” to incarcerate prisoners from the battlefield in Afghanistan, after years of impassioned debates over the rights of the detainees and whether the prison could close, the Pentagon is now planning for terrorism suspects still held in the facility to grow old and die at Guantánamo Bay.

"... the first hip and knee replacements are on the horizon."

Huh...?

Let these animals SUFFER with their ailments.

Until they... die.

Too bad!

How about palliative care and that's it?

Why not, isn't that what the democrats want for American citizens? I would suggest another option that democrats embrace.......................late term abortions.
