Comfortably numb!
Yup!It's important to make one while you're healthy because if you're a vegetable, or simply can't communicate, you're in for the long haul.
I have short term memory lost since the 1st Gulf War where we had to take the pill. The pill didn't affect everyone but I can tell you it didn't discriminate wrt age. My affliction might have been triggered by the Alzheimer gene. Found out after the fact, father passed in 2006 dad had it as well as polluted with cancer. Since an autopsy wasn't required, the family never requested one.
When it comes to the big C, my wife supports my wishes to let the disease run its course. e.g they aren't going to poison me with "their" shit and make me die that much sooner. I remember my back door neighbour agonizing through the summer (chemo). He was told in Aug, passed in Feb. Euthanasia wasn't legal back then.
Prolonging life with machines (on machines) is not life! I am not a religious man perse but, if God is no longer providing me with the means to live, then who are doctors to go against his wishes!
