Hopping I won't offend anyone here. There's a history of alzheimer in my family and I actually know a number of families that had to deal with the third generation going cuckoo. I've always thought that, if it would happen to me, or to one of my parents, perhaps the only sane solution would be to kill them. I'm wondering if I'm the only one thinking this. It seems like most of today's culture is about keeping people alive as long as possible, even if they're not themselves anymore, even if they're suffering.

I think that a lot of people think this in theory, but in practice the "boiling frog" phenomenon prevents them from following through.
