    Once had a professor who told us entirely unjokingly that seeing their father's battle with dementia was why they kept a gun at home

        I can believe it. I didn't have to watch that kind of thing with my dad, who died of cancer, but watching his deterioration over 1 year really changed my relationship with death. It affected me profoundly and I absolutely do not want anyone else to have to go through seeing that. For dementia it is a drawn out long process of years and the effect that must create would be horrific.

      :this:

      I've seen enough friends and family go through it and it's the one thing that if I'm diagnosed with (and there's a decent chance in the next decade or so) then I'm putting everything in order, having a party with friends then killing myself, not a joke.
