I agree with you. I've seen how bad end-of-life can get, through my grandparents. Dementia is a slow and miserable way to go.

My father is slowly declining in an assisted living facility. It costs a fortune because we have to provide 24-hr a day sitters to be with him. The last time I saw him I don't think he knew who I was.

Yes, my last memory of my grandfather was him mistaking me for a friend of his. I'd rather my children and grandchildren see me finish my race strong and with my wits about me, then drugged into a stupor.

Same. My grandmother was pissing herself and confused most days. What was gained?
