Yeah. That's a nightmare of mine. I don't want to be a burden on my family incapacitated.

Same here. I get a little nervous when I know a Jeopardy! answer and just can't get it out. I know that in my 20s-40s I would just blurt it out, but as I've gotten older (51), I just don't have the same recall that I used to.

I've never even remotely considered suicide. But years ago I told a friend of mine that if I ever feel myself getting advance dementia or alzheimer (or something like ALS), I would probably do it in my last lucid moment. Robin Williams did it for that reason and I never blamed him a bit.

Dementia should be on the legal euthanasia list. I don’t want to live like that. I’ve known a few who’ve had it and it’s been a very heavy burden for their loved ones. It takes a toll on everyone close to you.
