Half a Life (Star Trek: The Next Generation) Quotes

  • (Dr. Timicin) "Fifteen to twenty centuries ago, we had no Resolution. We had no such concern for our elders. As people aged, they -- their health failed. They became invalids. And those whose families could no longer care for them were put away, into -- deathwatch facilities, where they waited in loneliness for the end to come, sometimes -- for years. They had meant something; and they were forced to live beyond that, into a time of meaning nothing. Of knowing that they could now only be the beneficiaries of younger people's patience. We are no longer that cruel, Lwaxana."
