Morbid as it is, I’ve told my entire family that I fully intend to seek assisted suicide when I’m old. I’ve watched enough family members become decrepit and just live with constant pain for years, and then the mental decline, the Alzheimer’s, the dementia. Fuck all that noise, when I’m ready and feel fulfilled with my life, I’m out of this bitch

Oh yeah dementia is a hard no for me. My dad had glioblastoma and it was like cancer and dementia combined. Watching him made me even more positive that I’d rather jump off a cliff than live like that. Every day was confusing and scary and he became really volatile, but he turned down assisted suicide when he was still lucid, so there was nothing we could do. If I’m ever in that position, give me the drugs, I’m done.
