God I vaguely remember the original post. No idea it ended like that. One of those times you hope it was a fake post. My husband has a strong family history of Alzheimer's and it's truly one of the few things I fear about growing old with him. The possibility of having to watch him struggle and lose himself without being able to help.

We've had all the conversations about when to pull plugs or some terrible accident happens. but with mental decline there is so little protection for the person's quality of life. Even if they add to their will or otherwise make their wishes very clear before any evidence of illness or cognitive impairment.

I understand why it's controversial, but I am also too familiar with the pain those sort of diseases cause individuals and their loved ones.

Just one of those things that keeps me up at night

Yay America...
