A former neighbor investigated NHs for the state AG. He said never go to a NH, the abuse/neglect was constant. Hopefully when i get to that point, I've be able to take a handful of pills and take the long nap.

We, as a country, need to have a discussion about end of life choices. When a person is diagnosed with a terminal condition, the doc should write a script for something the dying person can take and leave the earth with dignity. In my small rural community recently three folks, near the end of life, have shot themselves in the head, they should be able to check out by making a choice to take a pill.

We have something like this already called in home hospice where they are doped up on opiate derivatives for a week or two, and if still not dead, dope them up more, if you know what I mean.
