If I could see it coming down the road? Yes. I'd wait until it was starting to get really bad, then I'd live out the rest of my days while activating something like a random number generator attached to a robot with a gun and when the number gets picked, it shoots me a bunch.

If it were just some random accident or sudden disease and I wasn't aware of the extent of it afterwards? I figure I would already be gone to my friends and family, just a dumb body and I'm not sure what would happen at that point.

This topic makes me think I ought to get a first draft of a will made or like whatever instructions you leave in case you have a coma.

Oculus rift game with three buttons you have to push for food, water and other pharmaceuticals. Each day there is a task to perform, the award is it tells you the correct order to push the buttons, There are 6 combinations, the correct answer is different every day and always delivers food water and pills, one of the other 5 incorrect combinations delivers poison pills.

Lately at my job I've just been reading through mounds of medical records of people who are on ventilators with anoxic brain injuries and have no chance at meaningful recovery, and reading the physician's/nurse's/chaplain's progress notes about discussions with the family over the course of several days regarding extubating the patient and letting them die gets a little depressing at times.






How impaired are we talking OP? If it's the above situation, where someone needs to come into my room 3 times a day to put drops in my eye and blink them for me, then let me die. If I'm still able to experience some type of actual life, then I don't know.

what about the whorehouses that cater to the disabled in Australia? Why blow money on a nursing home when you could subject a confused elderly man to this?

I'm watching my father go through this. He was a brilliant man. Really, really smart. Now he has severe Alzheimer's. He no longer remembers who I am. He sometimes remembers he has kids, and will tell me little bits that he remembers, not realizing he's telling me things I actually participated in. He can no longer read. Most TV programs confuse him, and he is becoming more and more like a toddler with each passing day. It is utterly tragic. Since his mother and sister both died of this, as well, there is a better-than-normal chance I will eventually come down with it. And right now, I'm not sure what I will do. My one fear is that, if I decide to off myself, I will wait too long to take action and then I will no longer be able to do it. The irony will be that, if I kill myself, they will release the medication that both cures and reverses Alzheimer's the very next week. If I decide to hang around, they will never develop it, and I will just wither away as a burden to my family and society.
It's terrible but I think there's no shame in offing yourself to go out with dignity. I'd rather do that then put a terrible burden on my family. I guess a lot of people think that you have some obligation to live as long as you can? gently caress that. If you're not capable why stick around? Even if there comes to be a cure these things don't happen overnight and Alzheimers puts a huge financial burden on a family as well as the emotional pain. Anyway, it is tough to see someone degrade but it does nothing to cheapen the person they once were. Nothing can do that.
