  I’d rather walk in front of a bus than die in a nursing home, frankly. Wasting away unable to care for myself seems uniquely miserable.

    Im not saying i want to end up in a home, just that i should be able to afford one if i should need and want to be in one.

    My uncle decided on MAID yesterday, i support his choice.

    (Not so) fun fact : that is exactly what some end up doing ! Gf’s grandmother escaped her nursing home to walk in front of a train.

      Reasonable “death with dignity” options would erase the need for such drastic measures but of course the Christian Nationalists hate that kind of thing.
