Starting with Alzheimers. Damn.

Growing up with your parents only for your mother to not remember a single thing about you, your father or anyone else. That sounds heartbreaking.

"In a country that touts itself for "individual freedom" and "self-determination" unencumbered by burdensome government meddling... yes,"I think I've said this before to other people in my family, and friends. "If I ever start to get like that, where I can't take care of myself, and I lose that kind of consciousness, I want somebody to kill me." It's sad and undignified to live a life where you are nothing more than a burden to others. It's one of the things I wonder about when I think about the future.and then the thread devolves into pain tolerance...
