[quote=Anonymous]In my country, Canada, we can get medical aid in dying in early Alzheimer's so anybody who is proactive and wants to know they have it, can choose this. The problem is most people don't want to know and resist all testing. The doctor will monitor you and tell you when you're about to slip over into incompetence. It's called "ten minutes to midnight," so you go before the opportunity is lost. We've had people getting "put down" for arthritis, Parkinson's, and ALS, never mind cancer. So the only thing that would prevent me from dying before someone had to wipe my a.s.s. would be a stroke that put me into a complete coma. They pretty much just pull the plug on you in that state here so I'm good to go. I'm leaving my lifetime of assets to a friend's daughters, who work in occupations that don't pay enough for what they do. I'm not handing it over to the "elder care industry." [/quote]
