Cancer caused by toxins in the environment, global climate change catastrophes, unchecked pandemics, unvaxxed children dying and human unrest will cull the herd. |
I’ve had three friends in their early 60s die recently from aggressive cancers. All fit and looking forward to enjoying their retirements. |
. You are exhausting. |
With dementia you may not have a choice. |
Nonprofits are less than 2% of facilities. Good luck finding one with a vacancy. |

So not applicable to most Americans. |

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to chose the time I pass like in the young adult novel The Giver. The elderly have a ceremony/celebration (Release) where the community comes together to tell them their life was meaningful.
"The telling of his life … is always first. Then the toast. We all raised our glasses and cheered. We chanted the anthem. He made a lovely good-bye speech. And several of us made little speeches wishing him well." Then you walk through doors as they chant your name and you are euthanized. Watching my mother who is in her early 80's with dementia, there is absolutely no way I want to go like that. It is such a cruel disease and there is so much suffering. I absolutely don't want to live like that until I forget how to walk, can't hold on to any memories, and can't even remember how to eat.

Saw it personally with 3/4 parents becoming cognitively incapacitated through dementia or TBIs from falls. |
