Interesting question. Not one I really want to face up to, either. Why? You may ask?
It sure would be nice to have someone cook dinner, do the laundry, walk the dogs, go to the market. It would be nice to have someone to read to me, tuck me in, help me wash my hair when the RA flares up (like it has been the past 4 days) and in general be able to tell them "get me a cuppa hot tea then will you massage my hands cuz they hurt so bad" and they do it. Without having to pay them cuz i own them. On the other hand...OWNING another human being, even though I would be nice? *shudder*
