[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean yes, lots of people say they will go out doing something active. But you’re not in control as much as you’d think. It pains me so much to see my MIL repeatedly tell my husband that she’d rather die than have someone help her with bathing or dressing, or go to AL. Sure, she’d rather die, but guess what — her children aren’t allowed to just kill her. What you’d “rather” really isn’t relevant unless you actually plan to take your own life while still of sound body and mind.[/quote]

You aren’t allowed to kill them, but you could dress her up in warm clothes, take her to the top of tge mountain, strap on some skiis, and push her down. I am going to pay someone to do this for me when the time comes.[/quote]

Yes, and with some bad luck you live and the person you gave poa too decides she cannot bear to say goodbye so you are hooked up to tubes tossing turning as you grab them off and she hires someone to make sure you stay hooked up. Then hospice tries to knock some sense into her and she refuses to listen. People can be crazy when it comes to letting someone die.[/quote]
