I'd move to a state with legal physician-assisted suicide, and after 16 years I'd go through with that.
why do all that when you can just go out in the woods and pull the trigger and off yourself. That’s how I’d do it

Hell yeah I would...you would do a lot of things different if you knew

It runs in my family and I certainly would. Hopefully there will be a treatment/preventative before I get a positive result.
