I say this without any attempt at humor, “kill yourself peacefully before you’re unable to and the people around you refuse to”

If I knew I had a prion disease, I’d be making plans to die peacefully unaware, or suddenly, the moment a symptom shows up.

My only real firsthand experience with prion diseases is Fatal Familial Insomnia, and the person was strapped into hospital bed restraints after a suicide attempt, and the only thing they would do when they chose to speak was beg for us to let them die because they can’t keep going like this anymore.
