[quote=Anonymous]I will choose medical aid in dying when I need care, outside of something temporary that I can recover from. I already take the SAGE Alzheimer's screening each year, download it from the University of Ohio. I am not living with Alzheimer's and I'm not living when I can't look after myself. I don't like being touched by strangers. I have GAD since birth so I preplan everything, "intolerance of uncertainty" is the diagnosis. I have my cats enrolled in a survivorship program. I can choose medical aid in dying for chronic illness in my country, Canada, and that is what I am going to do. I don't have any kids to dump on and my estate is going to a friend's daughter who is wasting her life in a helping profession, making a pittance, so she will be poor in her old age. She doesn't know she will inherit. I certainly am not going to leave my estate to the elder care industry and be a profit maker for them. [/quote]
