It's why IMO people should be able to give specific medical POA's for that before any disease gets too bad. For example I know what my parents want as we have dsicussed it but theres no real mechanism to execute their wishes. Fuck yes...ALS was one of the first diseases I thought of reading your post.

I've watched my wife have to choose to pull the plug on her dad, i was proud she made the best decision as his quality of life was non existent and she's far more people friendly than i am.

It's not my decision to make, my dad wanted to live so live he did, thankfully he was always coherent but his quality of life was gone.

Im4snow Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) We tend to keep people alive much longer than perhaps we should. Technology (paid for by others) coupled with one of the hardest choices one can make...and we end up pouring massive amounts of $$ into folks with no real living standards, or improved prospects.

It is much like boiling a frog. At first my mother was just forgetful but still doing the things she wanted but as time went on there were more bad days than good. They call Alzheimer's the long good bye which in my experience is sadly true. Edited July 29, 2019 by Carlos Danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
