1. Its not you who started your life - its not for you to rationally decide when it’s over. It’s just a premeditated murder nothing less. Logic and ethics 101
2. Who are you to decide for your closed ones what is good for them? I sincerely wish you will have a decent loving relationship withthem so they cherish every day spent with you. No matter what is your condition.
I have a family member who would be a straightforward candidate for this if they were in canada. I do not consider them a burden, nor are they "sullying their good name" by continuing to exist.
It does disgust me the way you and others here speak of the possibility of becoming like them. They still find life worth living and the world is better with them in it.
Simply false, I have cared for a family member with dementia. What I remember most is their fear, fear that they were dying, fear that I was there to hurt them. I could honestly reassure them that I was not, and I wouldn't give that up for anything.
It's presumption and rude of you to make these assumptions about my experiences, please stop.
Come on -- It's not more presumptive and rude than to take another person's feelings of their own dead loved ones and mortality and call it disgusting and perverse. Please take a moment and reflect on "The Other" and the fact that we're all humans made of the same parts.
I sought to ask questions and learn why your experience differed from mine. I would ask what your goals were entering into this conversation and if that's a quality you want to cultivate within yourself.
